real quick: bending over

sunflower8710 · May 2011

I have 16 minutes until I have to leave for work so really quick: bending over is super uncomfortable- is it for you? I try to remember to squat, but sometimes forget. Its okay to bend over right (go ahead and lol @ 1st tri tone)

I've started to notice some pain (muscular, I'm pretty sure) when I straighten up from bending over. I'm just going to try to stick with what's comfortable.

I remember when I friend was pregnant with her first and came over for dinner- she was having some back pain and was barely 5mo. I asked "Have you talked to your dr? Is that normal?" and she said "Yeah, he said that pregnancy is just uncomfortable and we can only do so much about it." I'm starting to understand that comment more every day!

Bending over is definatly getting uncomfortable. I was trying to tie my shoes in the passenger side of the car the other day, and discovered that when I fold myself up that much I can't breathe very well.

It is hard for me to bend over too. It is uncomfortable. I told my husband that I can't load or unload the dishwasher anymore.

i'm the same way, usually wear sandals and wasn't feeling good the other day so I put my sneakers on and went to bend over to tie them and was like huh.....that's not gonna work. it took every breath to finish tieing them.

Nicely played, girlfriend...I can't do that OR pick up the dog's toys. It's a shame, isn't it? Wink

But really...it is getting uncomfortable.

Typically you aren't supposed to bend over and lift anything heavy (pregnant or not), but I can't imagine that just bending over would be harmful unless it's painful.

I noticed last week that I can't bend over as far - I used to be able to touch my palms to the floor and now I can only get my fingertips.

I'm not really able to bend over as much as I used to. Last night I said to my DH, "wow, that's starting to get tough!" when I needed to pick something up. It hurt a little bit, but more than anything, I was just blocked sooner than ever, if that makes sense.

bending over to lift isn't a good idea, but bending over in general is totally fine and actually we do a LOT of forward bend type moves in my prenatal yoga. it's good for your circulation and my instructor says the more you do it the more you'll get used to it, which seems to be true for me. it's nice to get a stretch when your leg muscles are tight, you just need to leave a little more space between your feet to allow room for the belly!

Same here. I have to take a wide stance to tie my shoes so that my belly has room between my legs.
