I do pranayam every morning and kapalbhati is part of my routine. Now we are in our first month of trying. Should i continue or skip it? thoda confused honestly.
I had the exact same doubt and actually panicked thinking I ruined my chances because I did Kapalbhati! But don't worry, just stop doing it now, especially after ovulation. Switch to light breathing and relax, everything will be absolutely fine!
Honestly, Kapalbhati involves way too much aggressive tummy thumping! When you're trying to make a cozy home for a baby (or two, in my case!), you want calm vibes. Switch to simple deep breathing, it's much safer and won't make your ovaries dizzy!
Look, when you're busy with work and trying to conceive, you don't want to complicate things. Kapalbhati is great for detox but it puts a lot of pressure on the pelvic area. Just stick to 10 minutes of Anulom Vilom in the morning, it's safer and saves you the worry.
Oh, I get so hungry after any breathing exercise, but honestly, skip Kapalbhati while trying. Those forceful exhales put a lot of pressure on your stomach. Treat yourself to a warm bowl of soup and do simple meditation instead!
Beta, my mother-in-law always says not to do heavy stomach exercises when you are trying to conceive. Better to ask your doctor before doing Kapalbhati, as it has strong stomach strokes. You can do gentle breathing like Anulom Vilom instead.
In our house, my saas strictly told me no heavy breathing exercises or jumping during the days we were trying to conceive. Better to play it safe, yaar. I shifted to very slow breathing exercises and skipped Kapalbhati completely.
When I was staying at my parents' place while planning, my mother advised me to avoid Kapalbhati. She said any pressure on the lower abdomen is not good during the luteal phase. Do check with your gynac, but my advice is to stick to light walks and normal breathing.
I can only tell you what I did during my planning days. I completely stopped Kapalbhati and started doing gentle butterfly pose and basic deep breathing. It felt much more comfortable and didn't put any pressure on my lower belly.
Sending you so much love on this journey, dear. I would suggest being very gentle with your body right now and avoiding Kapalbhati, as those hard strokes on the abdomen might not be ideal. Please speak to your doctor or a certified fertility yoga expert for the safest path.
