Swinging the press during pregnancy

A good physical form undoubtedly greatly facilitates the process of childbirth. If the muscles of a woman's body are tightened, then the delivery will be easier. Only a few people think about taking care of their own physical form long before they give birth. It is necessary to give the muscles of the abdomen to tighten, grow stronger and get back to normal. But even during pregnancy, one should not forget about one's own physical health.

Is it possible to pump the press during pregnancy?

Swinging the press during pregnancy is not an obligatory procedure, moreover, sometimes due to violations in the body of a woman or a weak physical form of such training is worth while to abstain. The exact answer to the question can be given by the attending physician, after a thorough examination and analysis of the passage of labor, as well as a professional trainer for pregnant women. If before the pregnancy the woman regularly went in for sports, rocked the press and observed a certain sports regimen, then in the process of bearing the child, she can press the press, but in a light form. But, it should be remembered that the rocking of the lower press in the prone position is strictly prohibited! Practice of routine workouts of the press for pregnant women implies exercises sitting on a chair, gradually lifting your legs up.

Physical activity in the process of pregnancy is one of the factors in the success of the birth of a healthy and strong baby. Only need to clearly follow the prescribed sets of exercises and advice of fitness trainers for pregnant women, because only they can correctly choose the load without risk for the baby.

Swing of the press in the early stages of pregnancy

Early pregnancy is the most risky period for the development of the baby. The most dangerous and susceptible disorders and stresses are the 2 nd and 3 rd weeks of pregnancy. Accordingly, any physical activity during this period should be stopped, since even with the least burden, the risk of abortion increases. That is why the swing of the press in the early stages of pregnancy is categorically contraindicated.

It should pay special attention to the reactions of the body to any load (long walking, walking on the stairs, etc.). If the slightest sneeze or increased palpitation occurs, immediately stop physical activity and allow the body to rest.

Any exercises with jumps, vibrations (oriental dances), exercise bikes and swinging of the press should be excluded for a very long period. The best option for replacing the usual exercises will be yoga and gymnastics for pregnant women, designed specifically for women in the position. And, of course, do not forget about walks in the fresh air, which are useful for any period of pregnancy.

The swing of the press on late pregnancy

If you are determined to maintain muscle tone during pregnancy and your doctor has not forbidden you to exercise lightly, you should remember that swinging the press and any fitness activities, even lungs, should not be done during the entire period of bearing. It is necessary to take breaks during critical periods of development of the baby in the womb of the mother. To such periods carry 2-3 weeks of pregnancy, as the most risky for further development or interruption; 12-13 weeks, 20-24 weeks of development of the baby, as well as 28 weeks. On such days, one should not only completely avoid physical exertion, but also try not to expose the body to unnecessary emotional stress.

In general, the swing of the press and any other physical exertion in an easy measure at late pregnancy are acceptable. The only condition is the cessation of activity in case of symptoms such as headache, swelling, shortness of breath, circulatory disturbance or pain.

If you are professionally engaged in sports before the pregnancy, then such activities as gymnastics, track and field athletics, cycling on a straight road, climbing and yoga are quite possible to maintain during the bearing of the baby, but it is worth reducing loads and choosing more comfortable shoes and clothes. When exercising, watch the pulse if it exceeds the norm (for women in the position it is equal to 140 beats per minute), the classes should be stopped immediately.

As we see the swing of the press and other physical activities during pregnancy at a later date are possible, but it is necessary to treat them with extreme caution.

If the press hurts during pregnancy

It also happens that the press can get sick during pregnancy and in the absence of physical activity. Such pain can occur at any time of pregnancy, regardless of the physiological data of the future mother. If the pain is tolerable and insignificant, and the term is small, then panic is not worth it, perhaps your tummy is just going to grow and thus leads the muscles into tonus. If at the same time you feel a dull drawing pain in the lower abdomen, as during critical days, this is already a cause of concern.

Such pain can be a symptom of the tone of the uterus. This disorder is characterized by an increased stress of the uterine muscles in women in the position. Increased tone can cause birth before the due date or miscarriage, if the gestational age is still very small, so with such pains should be extremely cautious.

To cause the disease can be a stressful situation, lack of proper rest and sleep disorders, strong physical stress on the future mother's body, bad habits (smoking, frequent use of alcohol).

Hypertension of the uterus is a fairly frequent diagnosis in gynecological practice and in itself is quite safe. But if bloody discharge, severe pain and fever are added to it, then it is necessary to sound an alarm and immediately contact a doctor.

Therefore, all future mothers are recommended to reduce physical activity, rest more and get rid of bad habits, in order to avoid the occurrence of pain in the upper and lower press and prevent the tone of the uterus.

Exercises for the abdominal press during pregnancy

Exercises for women in the situation were created in order to maximize the preparation of expectant mothers for the bearing of the baby and the process of childbirth. Compliance with simple recommendations and performance of the complex will help you keep your own press in tone and stay in shape even in a period such as pregnancy.

Exercises for the first stages of pregnancy (before the 16th week):

The main task of exercises with a small period of pregnancy is the preparation of the abdominal muscles for bearing the baby.

• Exercise 1: Slow walking in place or in a circle. The main thing is to keep a moderate pace and breathe correctly during the exercise.
• Exercise 2: We walk and raise our knee high in front of us. We perform movement within 30-45 seconds.
• Exercise 3: We go and sweep the lower leg back. Do the exercise for no longer than 20 seconds.
• Exercise 4: Starting position: one arm is lifted up, the other is held at the waist, legs are shoulder-width apart. We bend in different directions 4-8 times.
• Exercise 5: Bending forward. We put the feet on the width of the shoulders, we put our hands behind the head. We do the inclinations forward, at the moment of tilt we pull the arms straight.
• Exercise 6: Lie on your back. Perform such exercises can only be done if the pregnancy is normal. We place the legs bent at the knees, we put our hands behind the head, but we do not close them. Slowly lift the upper part of the trunk above the floor.
• Exercise 7: Any breathing exercise. For example, deep breaths-exhalations lying on the back.
• Exercise 8: We lie on our backs. Right leg bend in the knee and put on the floor, left put on the right. Hands behind the head. We pull the right elbow to the knee of the left leg, then with the left elbow do the same. The pace is moderate. We perform the exercise 5-8 times.
• Exercise 9: Lying on your back, stretching your arms along the trunk. We bend our knees. Straining the abdominal muscles and slowly straighten the legs (in turn), sliding them on the floor, then in the same way bend and return to the original position.
• Exercise 10: Pelvic tilts standing against the wall. We stand with our back to the wall, we put our feet on the width of the shoulders, we move the heels 30-40 cm from the wall and slightly bend our knees. Further straining the muscles of the abdominal press we perform the incline of the pelvis, moving along the wall. Perform the exercise need 8-10 times.

After the 16th week of bearing a child, lying on the back becomes difficult and dangerous, so these exercises should be excluded. Instead, we add exercises in the sitting position. Slowly we raise to the trunk bent at the knees and straight legs. With the increase in the term, the number of breathing exercises should be increased and the number of exercises performed reduced.

How does the press affect pregnancy?

A well-formed press undoubtedly facilitates the delivery process. If a woman is constantly engaged in sports, she can control the contraction of the abdominal muscles, and with the right breathing can easily give birth to a healthy and strong baby. But the role of good physical training does not end there.

After giving birth, a woman's skin can be prone to stretch marks. The pumped-up press will help to avoid such a negative outcome and keep the skin as beautiful as before the bearing of the child. In addition, trained muscles will help to restore the shape faster after the birth of the child.

Therefore, maintaining a good physical shape and swinging the press will never be superfluous. In this matter, the main thing is not to overdo it, because the press "cubes" for women can only complicate the process of gestation and childbirth, since it is not known how the pumped muscles will behave in this situation. All this is very individual and depends on many physiological features of a woman. The main thing is to follow the recommendations and continue to maintain the physical form and swing the press even during pregnancy.
