ExpertDr.Sabiha AnjumObstetrician and Gynaecologist3 years agoA. Hello dear
Basically doing your housework will help is what people said in olden days.
The idea is that when you sit and mop floor the Pelvic bone widens a bit.
Even regular walking will help.
So don’t mop floors

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. Mopping, washing clothes, cleaning the floor and other chores which requires you to bend is not recommended during pregnancy. Pregnancy weight gain can cause a marginal shift in the body's centre of gravity and bending during this time can be risky for the sciatic nerve (runs from the lower back to the leg).
