I have a muscle ache and usually apply a diclofenac gel. Since I'm pregnant now, I wanted to know if it's considered safe to use this topical treatment during pregnancy.
Better to avoid diclofenac creams dear! 🚫 Do ask your gynac for a safe alternative. For now, try a warm compress or gentle hot water bag, it works wonders and is 100% safe! 🌸
My hospital's clinical team strictly told me to avoid NSAIDs like diclofenac during pregnancy as they can have risks. Please call your doctor's helpline or check with your gynac directly before applying any such ointment.
Please don't use any diclofenac gel without checking with your doctor first. I had thyroid issues so I was super careful about everything I applied or ate. Regular doctor follow-up is must before using such pain creams.
I completely get why you want to use it because pregnancy body pains are so exhausting. But honestly, please don't apply diclofenac without asking your gynac. Any medicine can absorb into the skin and we don't want to stress about baby's safety, right?
I had terrible leg cramps but my doctor said strictly no to diclofenac gels. Better to ask your gynac first. Meanwhile, go satisfy yourself with a nice hot cup of ginger tea or soup to distract from the pain!
