I keep getting this tightening feeling in my lower belly, not painful but it makes me tense up. Im 24 weeks. Wondering how to relax that area and calm down when it happens. Any tips?
My prenatal yoga teacher taught me some gentle breathing and stretches that really relaxed everything. But she said only do them if doctor has cleared yoga for u. Worth asking, it made a difference for me.
I felt those tight feelings too and it made me so anxious. What helped me was slow deep breathing, lying on my left side and just resting. If the tightening is painful or regular though, please call ur doctor.
Pls be careful with this one. If the uterus feels hard often or with pain, dont try to manage it at home, get it checked. For normal mild tightness, rest and warmth helped me, but my doc guided me on it.
My mother told me to sit calmly, sip warm water and just put my feet up when I felt that tightness. It eased mostly. But anything that feels off, dont hesitate to ring ur doctor na, that's always safest.
If u mean those mild tightenings, drink water and rest, sometimes it's just dehydration or u were on ur feet too long. Lie down on ur side and relax. But strong or frequent cramps mean call the gynac.
