Positions not to take during pregnancy
Introduction
Positions not to assume during pregnancy: here is a precious topic to explore if you aim, understandably, to live the sweet wait in comfort (and to best prepare for the birth).
Since so many mothers who contact me ask for information on this matter, I decided to prepare a complete guide.
As you can see, the article is preceded by an index.
I included it to give you the opportunity to delve into the various facets of the topic in detail.
If you are interested in a particular one, all you have to do is click on the paragraph title.

Now all you have to do is follow me in the next few lines to discover the details of a fundamental topic for a serene pregnancy (another useful resource in this regard is the prenatal video course , accessible at the end of the paragraph and curated by Dr. Maria Chiara Alvisi, midwife).
What Not to Do If You're Pregnant: Positions to Avoid
As Doctor Alvisi specifies at the beginning of this video, when talking about positions not to assume during pregnancy, it is possible to mention first of all those that involve a closure of the body's joints , in particular at the level of the lower limbs.
This is important because, during pregnancy, the circulatory balance changes.
This implies an increased chance of having to deal with critical issues such as venous thrombosis or clot formation.
Future mothers who spend many hours sitting at a desk must absolutely avoid crossing their legs.
If you then lean forward, the situation gets even worse.
In fact, it is a harmful position during pregnancy as it blocks all the passages at the level of the pelvic girdle.
The position just described should also be avoided due to potential problems affecting the knee and thigh.
After reading these paragraphs, you will surely be wondering what is the right position to assume when sitting during pregnancy.
I'll talk about it in the next paragraph (obviously, it's important to keep in mind the importance of getting up every hour/hour and a half, even just to go and get a glass of water).
