HI everyone,

it's been a long time since i posted. hope everyone's pregnancy is progressing great. Recently my relatives told me a lot things not to do and i thought i'll share it with u all.

1. try not ot sleep too much on your back.
2. sleeping to your left is slightly better than the right as the blood circulation is greater for the baby and same for oxygen supply.
3. do not abruptly turn from left side to your right or vice-versa ....they say that this might rarely cause the umbilical cord to wrap around the baby's neck ..what u have do to turn is this...get up to sitting position, turn and then lie on that side...try to remember this.
4. bend at your knees and go down rather than abruptly bending at your tummy.
5. dont stretch too much to get items beyond your reach.

take care,
Vasudha.

me vani replied. hi,
Thank you very much for sharing such a good info. I find it difficult to sleep in a particular position. If I sleep to my left then i feel good for some minutes and then change to right side but then i don't feel comfortable there and then again i will try to sleep straight and the whole process repeates and I won't sleep much. So this is my problem. But after your message I came to know many things and will try to do that. thanks once again.

How are you ? Am doing well and in my 16th week now.Trying to put on some weight now.
All of them are very good advices and very much true.We are not supposed to sleep on our back from 5th month onwards and we shouldn't do any exercise which requires to be done lying on our back.I put this in practice when i started may 2nd trimester since before pregnancy i used to sleep on my back most of the time.I find it difficult but try my best not to forget.
I was just wondering whether climbing is ok in pregnancy ?
