How safe is it to sit cross-legged?
Experts said that if a woman wants to sit cross-legged, there is no problem in it. Any activity that does not put pressure on the uterus is safe for a pregnant woman. For pregnant women, sitting cross-legged on the ground is considered good for their pelvic bones. This relaxes the pelvic bones.
Which women should take special care?
In some conditions, pregnant women are not advised to sit on the ground. Especially women who have placenta previa should avoid sitting on the ground. Apart from this, women who are suffering from pelvic girdle pain and symphysis pubic dysfunction may feel uncomfortable sitting cross-legged.
