I really miss my morning breathing exercises, they used to keep me so calm. Now in 2nd trimester and feeling a bit anxious lately. Is pranayama okay or are some types to be avoided? pls share ur experience.
Pranayama is a lifesaver when your hormones are driving you crazy! 😂 Just do the slow breathing ones like Bhramari to keep your cool. Strictly avoid Kapalbhati unless you want your belly doing gymnastics!
Gentle pranayama is highly recommended as it increases oxygen flow to the baby. But please avoid any abdominal breathing exercises that put pressure on the uterus. Just consult your gynac before starting any new routine.
Pranayama is very safe and helpful, but you must avoid holding your breath (kumbhaka) and fast breathing like Kapalbhati. Keep it simple with slow deep breathing. It will really help you stay calm during delivery.
I had severe bleeding issues in my early weeks, so my doctor had put me on complete bed rest. Even for simple breathing exercises, she asked me to wait. Pls check with your gynac once before starting, especially if you have any complications.
Yes, doing simple breathing exercises at home is great and absolutely free! No need to join expensive prenatal yoga classes. Just stick to gentle pranayama like Anulom Vilom to keep your blood pressure and stress in check.
Arre haan, mild pranayama bilkul kar sakte ho, it's very good! Anulom vilom and bhramari are super relaxing. Bus heavy exercises aur fast breathing mat karna, okay?
