I am genuinely confused now, I am reading so much hoopla on SN with regards to Prerna's Sherlock stunt.
Pregnant woman should be bedridden? From my experience, I have seen pregnant woman do crazy things until the moment they deliver. Jumping, dancing, overworking themselves (some do), lifting, etc etc. Single moms do all sorts of things, here at least Prerna has help from her family and Anurag.
All Prerna was doing today was going up and down some stairs, walking around a home. Compared to paragliding she did previously (which in my opinion was more dangerous for FIRST time person), this is nothing.
Any mothers here to shed light on this topic? Hope?
I'm not a mother yet but from whatever I have observed, it depends from pregnancy to pregnancy and woman to woman.
For example my mom says she could not sit at one place for longer time when she was preggers with my elder brother. Hence, she romped and walked and even swam till the last trimester and the doctors were okay with it because there was no complication with the pregnancy and the doctors advised her to be as active as possible for easy delivery. However, when she was expecting me and my twin, she felt lazy and even the simple task like ironing clothes seemed Herculean despite no complications or difficulty in the pregnancy. The only exercise she did (dad made her do forcibly rather) was breathing exercises. I have also seen my chachis during their pregnancy and the case was different for both of them.. My elder chachi is a dance instructor.. She used to teach her students till 8th month, my another chachi who goes to office had to take rest from five months onwards.
So, the gist is pregnant women are advised to avoid jolting and jarring jobs as well as the strenuous one and the one that can put a stress on their stomach. In short they are to avoid tasks that can put a stress to their uterus and if there are no complications, the woman can be as active as they want to be.
However, the hilarious thing is equating real life with Prerna's pregnancy whereas we were told not to do so when Moloy slapped Mohini. So go figure....🤣
