I used to sit in vajrasana after meals before pregnancy, helped with digestion. Now im 14 weeks and not sure if its still safe to do. Anyone continued it?
Absolutely, you can do it, it is very good for digestion after meals. Just place a soft cushion or folded blanket under your knees or ankles to make it comfortable. If you feel any pressure on your belly, please stop immediately and just sit normally.
Look, Vajrasana is one of the safest yoga poses, but don't do it blindly. If your doctor has advised bed rest or if you have any complications like placenta previa, then avoid it completely. Always confirm with your yoga instructor or gynac once.
Because of my PCOS, I had to be very cautious from day one of my pregnancy. Vajrasana is usually safe and helps digest food, but I made sure to check with my doctor first before doing any yoga pose. It's better to avoid any risks and follow professional guidance.
Actually, Vajrasana is really good for digestion, which is so important during pregnancy. However, in the later months or if you have any discomfort, don't force your knees or back. Since my C-section recovery, I realized how important it is to listen to your body and not strain yourself.
Personally, I sat in Vajrasana for 5-10 minutes after dinner throughout my second trimester, and it really helped my acidity. I never forced myself when my belly grew bigger in the third trimester. It worked well for me, but pls do what feels comfortable for your body.
