My legs have been aching so much lately, and I was thinking of getting a leg massager. Are leg massagers generally considered safe to use during pregnancy?
Honestly those massagers are so expensive and not even fully safe right now. Why waste money when we have so many delivery expenses and baby shopping coming up? A simple warm water foot bath at home works perfectly and costs nothing.
I was reading some articles and actually heard that electric massagers are not very safe during this delicate phase. Maybe a very gentle massage with warm mustard oil at home is much better and safer. Hope you feel better soon.
Hey, don't stress too much about it! While electric ones are generally not recommended due to heavy pressure points, a gentle rub from your partner is totally fine. Just put your feet up on a couple of pillows, it really helps with the swelling.
Listen dear, during pregnancy our blood circulation changes quite a bit, so we have to be very careful. I would highly suggest avoiding those automatic machines completely. Just soak your feet in warm water with some salt, it is the safest way to relax.
OMG my legs feel like heavy logs right now in this 9th month, honestly! But my gynac strictly said no to those electric massagers because of blood clot risks in our calf muscles. So now I just make my poor husband do a soft hand massage ghar pe, haha!
