Hello mam, I'm 6 months pregnant now, currently, I'm facing joint pain so I can't stand immediately and sit. Can you please suggest me what I can do at this stage?

Question

The pressure on your knees increases as the body starts gaining weight, further leading to knee aches. Ankles, knees and hips feel the added weight as the body grows during pregnancy. In order to ease the joint pains in this condition, hot and cold therapy is very helpful. You can either take a nice hot shower or place hot water bag/electric heating pads against your aching joints. Also wrapping an ice pack in a towel and placing it over your joints will do wonders. Increase calcium rich diet ,like makhana, singada halwa, milk,eggs, almonds.in your diet also.

You can do simple antenatal exercises like moving each limb five times with normal range of motion. For example in sitting you can move the neck up/down and sides. While standing you can rotate the upper limbs and the shoulders like swinging movement. While lying down you can move the leg up and down 5 times. That's it it will help you to have good blood circulation.
