My lower back has been killing me these days, im around 7 months and the pain is constant. I usually just rub some moov and feel better but now im not sure if applying it is okay while pregnant. Anyone used pain balms during this time?
Please check with your gynac before using any pain balm or spray in pregnancy, some have ingredients to be careful with. Dont just apply it because it's over the counter. A quick call to your doctor is worth it for back or body pain.
I used a warm water bag and gentle rest for aches rather than medicated balms. It helped a lot honestly. But for any balm or spray, please ask your doctor first, and if pain is severe definitely get it checked.
For back pain I mostly used warm compress and a pillow support instead of balms, and my doctor approved that. I'd avoid applying things without asking. For your case, just confirm with your gynac what's safe.
