Whether it is beneficial for pregnant women to lift their hips is related to the state of pregnant women and does not apply to all pregnant women.

Hip pads are often used to protect the fetus of pregnant women with cervical insufficiency or rupture of fetal membranes. Proper hip pad is mainly beneficial to the action of gravity. For special people, pregnant women are sometimes advised to raise their hips appropriately to avoid gravity increasing cervical pressure or umbilical cord prolapse. However, due attention should be paid. If the items placed on the buttocks are not ideal, it will easily lead to backache, but it is not good. With the increase of pregnancy weeks, it is easy for pregnant women to have difficulty breathing when raising their hips. In addition, hip lifting affects the sleep quality of pregnant women at night. Therefore, according to the doctor's advice, not everyone should lift their hips.
