Today there are a variety of jobs that women can do. Not infrequently this puts women who are pregnant, still have to stand for hours during work or activity. Is this dangerous and can cause pregnancy disorders?
Maybe you have heard a variety of prohibitions or appeals not to stand too long while pregnant, but work requires you to stand for a long time. Take it easy, Bun, there are steps that can be taken to minimize the risk of complications that may occur in pregnancy due to prolonged standing.
Possible Impacts Arising From Too Long Standing
Generally long standing does not endanger pregnant women. Although of course this will not feel comfortable, especially in the third trimester of pregnancy. Some pregnant women who stand for a long time at this time, experience swollen feet and back pain.
Although in general standing too long is not dangerous, but some pregnant women need to be aware of this. Especially pregnant women who have a high risk of having preterm labor and babies smaller than normal. The results showed that standing too long can increase the risk of complications, such as preterm labor and reduce the growth rate of infants.
Pregnant women need to tell the condition of the pregnancy, if indeed the job requires it to stand long. Including the condition of pregnancy with multiple pregnancies, having placenta previa, having high blood pressure, having a high risk of experiencing preeclampsia, the baby is not growing normally, or has had a miscarriage before.
Efforts to Reduce the Risk of Standing Too Long
You should not worry too much about your mother's work or daily activities, even if you need to stand for a long time. There are ways that can be done to reduce the risks that may arise, including:
- Inadequate drinking mineral water needs. Bringing your own drinking bottle can be easier.
- Take a break from standing position periodically, for example every 1-2 hours. Mother can rest for a few minutes, for example by sitting, or if possible lying down by raising legs.
- When sitting, it's best to avoid crossing one leg over the other.
- When sleeping, lying face to the left can help relieve swelling and reduce pressure on the inferior vena cava. These vessels that pump blood from the lower body to the heart.
- Avoid standing still for too long. While standing, Mother keeps moving actively as much as possible, such as by walking to and fro. This movement is useful to keep blood flowing, reducing swelling, and reducing the risk of blood clots. Moving muscles also helps blood circulation to the heart.
- Mother can wear compression stockings (compression stockings) so that the feet are not swollen. In addition, you can use a pregnancy belt to support the stomach and even the burden. Wearing this belt will help ease the burden on your feet and legs. Also wear shoes that are comfortable for your feet.
- If possible, you can place one foot on a bench or small box where you stand. Then replace with the other leg
Standing too long during pregnancy is generally not dangerous. However, this can increase the risk of pregnancy disorders, in some pregnant women who have certain conditions. Consult further to the obstetrician, to find out its safety.
