Can I squat down during pregnancy?

Hi all! I heard from a friend that I cannot squat down or raise my arms during pregnancy. Even when I’m in my early pregnancy stage. Is this true and any idea why? 😊

squatting is ok as long as you don't feel uncomfortable after doing it. I was squatting to relieve my contractions the night before my delivery and it helps to dilate the cervix prior to delivery the next day.
