A member asked:

Is it safe to reach high for things when 37 pregnant? ive seen it can affect the umbilical cord? is this true?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Myth: Reaching has not direct or indirect on the baby/placenta carried in the sheltered womb. It is reasonable to limit activities to those well tolerated without discomfort, but this is a myth.
