My back and legs are aching a lot these days and i usually reach for moov. But ab pregnant hu so im scared to apply anything without checking. Is the cream type okay to use externally? planning to ask doc but wanted to hear from u all.
Haha, pregnancy backaches are no joke, but Moov is not the solution! It has strong chemicals that penetrate deep, which isn't great for the baby. Stick to hot water bottles and drama-free rest!
Rather than using Moov, I found that gentle stretching and prenatal yoga, which my doctor allowed, really helped with back pain. These heat rubs contain methyl salicylate which is not recommended. Keep it natural with hot fermentation instead.
My back was literally breaking, but my gynac said no to Moov and other chemical sprays. Instead, I had to rely on my husband's very average massage skills and a warm water bag! It's safer to avoid these strong ointments.
I always prefer natural ways like applying warm sesame oil or using a hot water bag for pain. But if the back pain is very severe or accompanied by cramps, please don't ignore it and call your gynac immediately.
Hey, don't stress too much, but try to avoid Moov for now. It contains some active ingredients that aren't fully recommended during pregnancy. Just use a warm compress or ask your hubby for a gentle oil massage.
It is generally better to avoid pain relief sprays like Moov because they contain chemicals that absorb through the skin. I was very cautious about anything I put in or on my body during pregnancy. Always check with your doctor first.
