@dr.moyub: How to Get Out of Bed Safely in Late Pregnancy As your baby bump grows, sitting straight up from bed can strain your tommy muscles, back, and pelvis. Instead, try this safer method: Step 1: Roll onto your side Before getting up, gently roll onto your left or right side with your knees slightly bent. Step 2: Move your legs off the bed Slide your legs over the edge of the bed while staying on your side. Step 3: Push up with your arms Use your hands and arms to push your upper body up into a sitting position as your legs lower to the floor. Step 4: Sit for a few seconds Take a moment to sit on the edge of the bed. This helps prevent dizziness, which is common during pregnancy. Step 5: Stand up slowly Place both feet firmly on the floor and stand up gradually. Why this helps Reduces pressure on your abdominal muscles May lessen back and pelvic pain Helps prevent dizziness and falls Makes getting out of bed more comfortable in the third trimester Avoid doing a “sit-up” straight from your back, especially in late pregnancy. Rolling onto your side first is usually much more comfortable and safer.
