Why can not pregnant women lift their arms up and stretch?

Can I lift my arms up during pregnancy?

It was considered for a while that a woman, in anticipation of a baby, is forbidden to raise her hands and reach out. Some gynecologists to this day agree with this statement.

Other experts say that there is nothing wrong with such gestures, it's only necessary to perform them smoothly and in moderation. Here are a few myths and theoretically grounded facts about raising hands to pregnant women:

1. It is believed that by raising her hands to the top, a woman runs the risk of provoking a cord with the baby's cord or turning it over. Indeed, with the arms raised in the uterine cavity, there is a little free space and the crumb becomes easier to move around. However, in the late term, the fetus is already so large that the usual raising of hands is unlikely to help him change his location. As for the umbilical cord, then the baby has all the chances and without her mother's help to obvits. In addition, the accusation is dangerous and can provoke hypoxia only if the umbilical cord is naturally short in length. Parameters of the umbilical cord on the uzi will be established by the doctor, and, if necessary, warns the future mother about the risks
2. . The second theory is based on the fact that with prolonged upraised hands in the uterus blood circulation is disrupted, which can lead to hypoxia of the fetus. This version has a scientific justification. In fact, the blood begins to flow into the placenta with interruptions, if the woman raised her hands and does not lower them for a long time( for example, hangs curtains or glues wallpaper).Because of such long exercises it is better to refuse
3. The third theory is also scientifically grounded. It is that when the hands are raised up the uterus may come into tonus and provoke the outflow of amniotic fluid. This is true, but such risk arises already at later dates( after the thirtieth week).Some women, by the way, perenashivayuschie kid, use this theory to provoke the long-awaited delivery
4. Another dangerous factor for a pregnant woman is that with a sudden rise of hands up her head may be dizzy. If a woman is at an elevated position or there is no one nearby, she can simply lose her balance and fall

. Analyzing all of the above, it can be concluded that raising hands by itself is not very dangerous. However, it is better to refuse from a sharp movement at a later date without the support of someone and the doctor's permission.
