Yes its safe for most, its a hip opener and very gentle. Sit on a cushion if your back hurts. Avoid bouncing the legs hard, just slow movement.

Butterfly (titli asana) is actually one of the recommended ones in pregnancy, helps open hips. But I only started after my doc cleared me and I do it gently, no forcing the knees down. Check with yours first if you've any complications.

For me they restricted a lot because of my placenta position, so even simple poses I had to ask first. If your pregnancy is smooth its usually fine, but please get a yes from your doctor before starting any asana.

My MIL used to do this and told me to also. I checked with my prenatal yoga teacher who said its fine in normal pregnancy. Still I'd say confirm with your gynac just for peace of mind.

I did butterfly pose almost daily in my last trimester and honestly felt it helped with the normal delivery. Just keep it slow and stop if anything pulls. Loved it.
