คุณแม่ตั้งครรภ์ยืนนานๆ ส่งผลต่อทารกในครรภ์อย่างไรบ้าง

Normally, when pregnant women stand for a long time, it affects the mother&#8217;s body. However, the impact increases in the third trimester, where the uterus may press against the veins or lymphatic vessels that drain blood from the lower part of the body, causing poor blood circulation and affecting both the mother and the fetus.
<h2 style="color: #008080;">How does standing for a long time affect the fetus?</h2>
Every pregnancy carries risks, but the level of risk depends on various factors such as the pregnant woman&#8217;s health, family history, self-care, and more. Being under medical supervision can help control and reduce these risks. One common factor is pregnant women standing for long periods at work, which may affect both the mother and the baby as follows:
<ul>
<li>Swollen and painful legs due to poor circulation, especially in pregnant women with higher body weight, which causes fatigue and pain.</li>
<li>Back pain because the uterus expands forward, making the back muscles work harder than usual. Standing for long periods can cause muscle fatigue.</li>
<li>In cases of a short cervix, walking a lot increases the risk of preterm labor.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="color: #008080;">If you need to stand for a long time, here are some guidelines for pregnant women</h2>
<ul>
<li>Keep moving and frequently change positions to promote good blood circulation.</li>
<li>Try to drink water regularly and urinate to prevent dehydration.</li>
<li>Avoid wearing high heels. Wear shoes that fit well, are comfortable, neither too tight nor too loose, and provide proper support to prevent falls and accidents.</li>
<li>When walking or standing for long periods, take breaks to sit down and elevate your feet to improve blood circulation.</li>
</ul>
If you walk or stand for a long time and experience uterine tightening, stop immediately as it may cause excessive uterine contractions, leading to preterm labor pain. If the tightening persists, see a doctor promptly for examination and diagnosis.
