        If a pregnant woman’s job requires standing for long periods of time, this will slow down blood circulation in the legs, leading to edema and varicose veins.

        Pregnant women who are about to become mothers must give themselves a break regularly, sit on a chair and put their feet on a small bench, which is beneficial to blood circulation and relaxing the back.

        If you don't have the conditions to sit, then choose a position that is most comfortable for your body and stand and activate the corresponding muscle groups.

        For example, if you contract your buttocks, you will feel the abdominal muscles supporting your spine. Pregnant women often want to straighten their backs and lift their stomachs, which can cause heartbreaking pain.

        Therefore, pregnant women who need to stand for a long time can try to move the center of gravity from the toes to the heels and from one leg to the other leg to promote blood circulation.
