Currently in my 3rd trimester and everything hurts, even my eyelashes! But honestly, don't use Iodex, it's too strong. Just lying down like a potato is safer, or ask your gynac if it gets unbearable.

I always advise moms on this forum to avoid strong pain balms like Iodex during these months. Go for safe home remedies like mild warm mustard oil massage or just consult your doctor if pain is too severe.

Actually, most pregnancy apps say to avoid strong topical pain relievers like Iodex because they contain methyl salicylate. Better to track your body changes and ask your gynac for a pregnancy-safe cream instead.

Better to avoid Iodex because it's quite strong! 🚫 Try a warm water bottle or light massage with mustard oil instead. Hope your pain goes away soon! 😊

Ho na, back pain toh bahut hota hai pregnancy mein. But Iodex or strong balms direct apply mat karo without asking doc, safe nahi hota high heat balms. Soft hot water bag try karo na.

Don't use strong balms like Iodex without asking your gynac, as skin absorbs those chemicals. If u have severe back or leg pain, just use a simple warm compress or ask your doctor for a safe ointment.

Oh god, my back was screaming for help during pregnancy! But honestly, I was too scared to use Iodex because of the strong chemicals. I just made my husband do light coconut oil massages, which barely worked but at least got me some attention!
