Appropriate and frequent activities are beneficial to the health of pregnant women and fetuses, and walking is one of the simplest and safest ways to exercise. However, pregnant mothers are advised not to go for a walk in the following places to avoid adverse consequences.
city center
Mainly refers to downtown areas, markets, open-air squares and other places. These places have poor air quality, are crowded and noisy. Walking here not only has no effect of walking, but may also affect your mood, which is not good for pregnant mothers and fetuses.
potholes
If the road surface is uneven and there are many gravels, pregnant women may fall easily while walking, and accidents such as miscarriage may also occur.
roadside
Roadside air pollution is serious, such as carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen, sulfur oxides emitted by cars, and horn noise, which will seriously affect the health of pregnant women and have great potential harm to the fetus.
rise
In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, pregnant women often experience symptoms such as joint laxity and muscle spasms, and are prone to injuries when walking uphill. Especially in the third trimester, walking uphill can put a lot of pressure on the abdomen and even lead to miscarriage.
slippery road
The road is slippery and it is easy to fall. Especially after rain, it is not advisable to walk on muddy country roads or ponds.
