My back and kamar are paining a lot these days, 6 months chal raha hai. Was thinking of asking hubby to massage with olive oil. Is it safe to use during pregnancy? dont want to do anything wrong.
I used to massage my belly with olive oil daily and honestly it kept the itching away. My little one is a toddler now and I still use it for him sometimes!
My mother-in-law insisted on using coconut oil, but my doctor said olive oil is also completely safe and very moisturizing. Just make sure the pressure of the massage is very light and gentle on your belly.
I used olive oil throughout my pregnancy, and even post-C-section I used it gently around my dry skin once the stitches healed. It really helped keep my skin soft, just be gentle.
Yes, you can absolutely use it. My dermatologist explained that olive oil is rich in vitamin E and safe, but warned me to avoid deep-tissue or heavy belly pressure, especially in the first trimester.
