I used to do breathing exercises before pregnancy and it helped my anxiety a lot. Now in first trimester I am scared if holding breath or doing it wrong can be risky. Did your gynac allow anulom vilom?
Haan beta, anulom vilom toh bahut accha hai garbhavastha mein. Humare bade buzurgh bhi kehte the ki saans lene wali exercise se man shant rehta hai aur bachhe ko bhi accha oxygen milta hai. Bas dhyaan rakhna, koi bhi aasan jisme pet pe dabav pade, woh nahi karna. Hamesha araam se karna.
Oh, I totally understand wanting to stay calm and centered during pregnancy! Anulom Vilom is such a beautiful practice for that. Most doctors actually encourage gentle breathing exercises. Just make sure you're comfortable and not pushing yourself, and maybe mention it to your gynac once, just for peace of mind. It truly helps connect with yourself and baby.
Generally, mild breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom are safe and even beneficial in pregnancy. My focus was always on staying healthy, especially with my gestational diabetes, so diet and light exercise were key. For any exercise, even breathing, it's always best to get a green light from your gynac, just to be absolutely sure given your specific health. Don't overdo it.
I definitely did Anulom Vilom throughout my pregnancy, and it really helped me manage stress and feel more connected to my body. It's usually fine, as long as you're doing it gently without any strenuous breath-holding. Always listen to your body and if you have any concerns, just ask your doctor. It's wonderful for both you and baby.
Yes, Anulom Vilom is generally considered very safe and beneficial during pregnancy! It helps with relaxation and oxygen flow. Just make sure you do it gently, don't strain yourself or hold your breath for too long. Enjoy the calm! 🧘♀️✨
