My back and neck have been so stiff lately and before pregnancy i used to take muscle relaxers for this. Now im 5 months along and dont want to take anything without checking. Just curious what others were told.
Please don't take any muscle relaxer on your own during pregnancy. I had a back issue and my doctor was very particular about what I could and couldn't take. Better to call your gynac before swallowing anything.
When I had bad back pain my gynac told me most muscle relaxers are a no during pregnancy and she suggested heat compress and a small pillow support instead. She said only what she prescribes is safe. So I would say don't self medicate, ask the doc first.
I know body pain feels unbearable sometimes, but this is one thing you really shouldn't decide yourself. Just message your gynac, they will guide you on what is okay. You and baby first, dawai baad mein.
Honestly with a desk job my back used to kill me, but I never touched any relaxer without asking. A quick call to the clinic saved me, they told me safe alternatives. Don't risk it for a tablet na.
