I have a TENS machine type thing i used for muscle pain before. Ab pregnant hu and not sure if those electrodes are safe to use now. Will ask doc also but wanted ur views.
Haha, I wouldn't risk putting any electric current near my body right now! Honestly, just stick to a warm water bag or a good old massage from your husband. Better safe than sorry!
When I asked the senior physiotherapist at my hospital about using TENS electrodes for my back pain, they strictly advised me not to use them without direct medical supervision. Please ask your hospital staff or gynac before using any such devices.
My pregnancy app mentions that using electrodes or TENS machines is generally avoided in the first trimester, and should never be used on the belly or lower back. It can be useful during active labor, but check your tracker's safety guide and consult your physical therapist.
Using electrodes or electrical stimulation (like EMS or TENS) is highly restricted during pregnancy. Definitely avoid putting them anywhere near your abdomen or back as it can trigger contractions. If you need pain relief, get a professional opinion first.
