Hot yoga in pregnant women increases risk of miscarriage

Practicing yoga can help pregnant women give birth naturally, but not all yoga is suitable for mothers to practice. Mothers should not try high-temperature yoga during pregnancy. Because the indoor temperature is too high, a lot of sweating and dehydration will occur after exercise, which may make the mother's blood thicker and is not good for fetal development. Especially during the first 3 months of pregnancy, you must not try it to avoid the risk of miscarriage.

Avoid excessive sweating or heat stroke

Yin Changsheng said that hot yoga uses heating to raise the room temperature to 40 ° C. The purpose is to sweat a lot, which can consume about 630 calories per hour. Recently, it has attracted many weight loss people to try it. However, doing hot yoga can cause a lot of sweating and dehydration, which may make the mother's blood thicker, affect the development of the fetus, and even increase the chance of miscarriage.

Zhou Huizheng, deputy director of teaching and research at Tai 'an Hospital, said that pregnant women have poor circulation and a heavy burden on their lungs and lungs. Once they sweat a lot or have heat stroke, both the mother and the fetus will be in danger.

Zhou Huizheng said that as for yoga, which is dominated by pregnant women, attention should be paid to the safety of the venue when performing. The floor should be padded, the environment should be ventilated or air-conditioned. For every 30 minutes of exercise, you should rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
