Im in my third trimester and my MIL keeps saying i should massage to prepare for feeding later. Im not sure if its actually okay to do now or if i should wait. Anyone did this during pregnancy?
Haha, pregnancy soreness is real! I tried massaging with warm oil to get some relief from the stretching pain, but honestly, just wearing a comfortable, seamless maternity bra was the real lifesaver for me.
Dekho, gentle massage is fine if your breasts feel sore and heavy, but don't do vigorous massage or nipple stimulation. It can trigger contractions, which is not safe. If you feel too much pain, just talk to your gynac.
In my 3rd trimester, my breasts feel like heavy water balloons, so gentle massage is the only thing that gives some relief. Just don't overdo it or squeeze, we don't want to trigger any early labor contractions!
Take gentle care of your body, dear. A very light massage with organic oil can give you relief from soreness. Just stay positive, avoid any harsh pressure, and let your body prepare naturally.
