Is sitting "indian style" ok while pregnant?

Question

I always sit indian style, its just what is comfortable to me. well, my mom saw me sitting on the floor like this and told me they say its bad to do while pregnant. is this true? i have never heard of anything like that...

Answer 1

How can it be? Tested and proofed over and over as safe.

Answer 2

This seems a little racist

Answer 3

I'm the same way. thats the only way I feel comfortable these days. Its fine, actually good to stretch out your muscles. "They" also used to say that if you raised your hands above your head while pregnant you'd strangle the baby...don't believe everything you hear, your baby is more protected than you think!

Answer 4

It is GOOd to do.  It stretches your hips which makes for an easier delivery.

Your mom is telling you an old wives tale.
