The physical changes in women during pregnancy are actually quite significant, so anything you do during pregnancy should be carefully considered, as some of your actions may have an impact on the baby. Lifting heavy objects may not be a very rare thing for women in daily life, but for pregnant women, it can be big or small. So, what are the effects of lifting heavy objects during pregnancy on the fetus?
Firstly, it may induce uterine contractions and cause threatened miscarriage, or threatened premature birth.. In the early stages of pregnancy, as the fetus is not yet particularly stable, lifting heavy objects at this time may lead to threatened miscarriage. In the later stages of pregnancy, due to the possibility of giving birth at any time, lifting heavy objects with force may also result in premature birth.
Secondly, there may be uterine contractions. Pregnant women are likely to exert force on their lower abdomen when lifting heavy objects, which can cause uterine muscles to contract and result in excessive abdominal pressure. Sometimes, if excessive force is applied, bleeding may occur, and in severe cases, premature placental contractions may occur.
Thirdly, it can have an impact on the pelvic floor muscles of pregnant women. Sometimes, when the weight of the body increases the pressure on the abdomen, the pressure on the pelvic floor muscles also increases, which can lead to uterine prolapse or other conditions after childbirth.
