Everyone talks about things you should do when you are pregnant. From eating well to being careful and doing things that make your pregnancy a smooth ride. But what are the things that you should not do? Well, here is a list of 10 physical activities that you should avoid during pregnancy.
Ideally, as your pregnancy progresses, any activity that increases your risk of falling or causing injury/trauma to your abdomen. The below activities may do just that, and hence should definitely be avoided during pregnancy.
Other than these activities, horse riding, scuba diving, waterskiing, surfing, and downhill skiing are also best avoided as they can increase your risk of falling and chances of trauma to your abdomen. All this does not mean that you have to sit or sleep throughout the day and not move around, as if you are a sick person. Unless your doctor has specifically asked you to take bedrest during pregnancy, you do not have to confine yourself to bed. In fact it is highly recommended you do not. You can go for walks, do low impact exercises and so on. (Read Exercises During Pregnancy For A Normal And Natural Delivery and Top 5 Exercises During Pregnancy)
However, keep the above list in mind.The idea is simple – you do not engage yourself in any activity that increases the chances of strain in your tummy region or puts you in a risk of falling and hurting yourself and the baby. Be careful!
Here is wishing you a happy and safe pregnancy.
