My back and shoulders are killing me these days, second trimester. My mom said just rub some iodex but i wasnt sure if its ok to use now. Anyone used pain balms during pregnancy? thoda confused.
Generally they ask to avoid strong medicated balms during pregnancy and stick to simple warm compress. But honestly just confirm with your own gynac for your case. They can suggest something safe if needed.
Beta for mild aches I just used a warm cloth and gentle pressing, that helped me. For balms its better to ask the doctor in pregnancy. Dont apply strong smelling ones without checking.
I wouldnt use any pain balm without asking my gynac first, some have ingredients they prefer you avoid in pregnancy. When I had body pain she suggested a safe alternative. Please just confirm with your doctor before applying.
