Is Lifting Weights Safe During Pregnancy?
You must avoid lifting heavy object and chemical stuffs.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:
1) You should avoid lifting heavy objects & bending too much during pregnancy period. However, if you are going to lift any object, it is important to exercise caution. For some women, lifting heavy objects can lead to an increased risk of premature labor and low birth weight.
Lifting an object incorrectly, whether heavy or not, can also result in a pulled muscle. A potentially severe complication of heavy lifting is a hernia.
2) Safety of commonly used household chemicals and cleaning products is NOT much known. However, some evidence shows that using or smelling chemical- based cleaning products during pregnancy can cause your baby to develop wheezing after he’s born.
It's possible for chemicals to get into your body and affect your growing baby’s developing lungs and other organs. Therefore, it makes sense to try to reduce the number of cleaning chemicals you use and smelling.
Wear gloves and avoid direct contact with products that have strong fumes and extensive warning labels. Some oven cleaners and bathroom tile cleaners fall into this category.
Another thing, you shouldn't try pesticides, insecticides or fungicides. So that you don't breath in fumes, keep your windows open and don’t use products in aerosol cans.
