My kamar and back are paining a lot these days, im in 5th month. My mom suggested a gentle oil massage but I got scared after reading something online. Anyone got a massage during pregnancy, was it ok?
For body aches, a light warm mustard oil massage on your hands and legs works wonders at home. However, never let anyone massage your stomach, and if you have severe leg pain or swelling, immediately skip the massage and check with your doctor.
Haan na, a light massage feels so good when the body aches! But make sure you don't massage the belly area, ho na, and avoid very hot oils or hard pressure.
A gentle massage is fine, but make sure your blood pressure and thyroid levels are stable first, as swelling in legs can sometimes be due to other reasons. Always ask your doctor before starting any prenatal massage therapy.
It is safe if done very gently, but please avoid lying flat on your stomach. After my C-section, I realized how important it is to protect your abdominal area, so only go to certified prenatal massage therapists who know the correct side-lying positions.
Gentle body massage is safe, but please avoid putting any pressure on your stomach. You can ask someone to lightly massage your legs and back to help you relax.
