I do kapalbhati every morning and have been for years, its part of my routine. Now that we are actively trying im a bit confused if i should continue or stop it. Anyone who kept doing pranayam while ttc?
See, trying time pe light kapalbhati chalega, koi badi baat nahi. Pregnant hone ke baad band kar dena, woh forceful saans pet pe pressure dalti hai. Simple anulom vilom and walking is safer overall.
I did kapalbhati a lot before, then got confused after conceiving whether to continue. Anyone else stopped it once pregnant? I dropped it and just walk now, felt safer that way honestly.
I'd be a little careful here. Mild pranayama is one thing but the strong kapalbhati pumping isn't for everyone. Since you're trying, just check with your doctor especially if you have any health issue, better safe.
While just trying to conceive, gentle kapalbhati is generally okay if you're comfortable with it. But the moment you get a positive, stop the forceful breathing ones, my yoga teacher was very clear about that. I switched to walking and gentle stretches and asked my doctor first.
I used to do kapalbhati regularly before conceiving and felt it kept me calm and relaxed. Once pregnant the intense belly pumping ones are usually avoided. For trying phase its fine in moderation, but do run it by your gynac if you have any condition like PCOS or thyroid.
