Safe or not?

Question

I'm at 32 weeks now and my body aches everywhere. I had a lady tell me that this worked to relieve some pain while pregnant. and as the new mom to be that I am I'm sketchy about everything. Just want to know if anyone has tried it and if it works. I would love to be able to relax in a bath every now and then.

Answer

This is literally what my doctor sent me a picture of via email to go get to help relieve my aches/swollen ankles!! It really has helped me a ton!

Answer

Epsom salt is basically crystallized magnesium. Its safe to use while pregnant.

Answer

Oh that's my favorite!! I'll light a lavender candle and use my lavender body wash. Helps me relax so so so much.

Answer

yes! it works wonders! i got the generic target brand and when i told my family that i was going to take a bath, my mom scrubbed the entire bathroom and lit candles for me so it would be all clean and ready for me to relax! 
my boyfriends mom on the other hand, and some friends from snapchat (since i had posted a photo of me getting the tub ready) all freaked out saying i shouldn’t take baths this far in my pregnancy and i can boil my son inside my belly 🙄
as long as you’re careful getting out and the water isn’t REAL HOT, you should be fine
i spent 30 minutes just talking to my belly, in the dark with candles lit. my body felt amazing!

Answer

Completely safe. Just make sure the water isn't too hot and you only soak for 15-20 minutes. Soaking for longer periods of time can cause dehydration and diarrhea.

Answer

totally safe!

Answer

i used the milk and honey one because lavender made me want to gag. but it was the only thing that would get my body to relax (i work in retail and work very long days on my feet). i had the bubble bath one and the actual salt best thing i had in my pregancy other then my pregancy pillow.

Answer

Ladies, I'm a newbie in all of this so hope you can help me to clarify... Aren't you supposed to avoid bath during pregnancy ? or is that only during the early stages? I feel so confused about all do' s and dont' s....😞

Answer

love this stuff!

Answer

i live in the bath as of late. i have a bad back to begin with (missing lumbar disc) and then i was in a nasty car wreck at 14 weeks :( i cant do much of anything to take down inflammation, but i spend a lot of time in the bath (I'll bring glasses of water with me or have my fiancé bring me grape juice in a wine glass) and soak with the epsom salts. It's been a life saver.
