[F] Pregnancy gymnastics

Doing exercise movements at the age of 8 months of pregnancy is a very simple way that is very important to do. This aims to strengthen the uterine muscles, so that they can help in the birth process. What mothers need to know is that pregnancy exercise aims to smooth the delivery process, so it is highly recommended to do light movements.

The reason is, during the delivery process, the mouth of the womb (cervix) can be widened by about 1-3 cm and when the baby's head comes out through the pelvis, automatically the cervix can widen by about 4-7 cm and the baby's head continues to press the cervix until it continues to widen up to 8 -10 cm depending on the size of the baby's head.

Given the importance of pregnancy exercise for childbirth, it is recommended that mothers do pregnancy exercise near the time of delivery. By doing pregnancy exercise regularly and regularly, the uterine muscles can be trained and mothers can give birth normally smoothly.

Butterfly pose can be done to train thigh muscle strength and relieve complaints of back pain that often occurs when you are 8 months pregnant. Butterfly pose is best done for 15 minutes and repeat several times. To do this, the mother can take a sitting upright position, then join the soles of the feet in front. Press both knees until they touch the floor several times.

Sitting cross-legged is a basic movement. Moms can use pads so that the buttocks do not stick directly to the floor. Mothers can also use a mat as a training base. This movement is quite easy, because you only need to sit comfortably. Then, continue to straighten your hands and let your palms rest on the floor. Here, you can try to catch your breath properly. Apart from that, you can also add some other light movements. Meanwhile, mothers are encouraged to do this movement slowly and repeatedly.
