Avatar f tn There are lots if YouTube videos to help you know what poses are safe. If you didnt exercise before yoga is still safe as long as you are careful with the poses. My mother in law did yoga religiously and her labor was 10 mins once she got to the hospital. It really helps me with the back pain now. Don't know what I would do without it.
Avatar f tn Ur body starts to produce a chemical called relaxin to soften joints so the baby can pass through. Some stretching will help. I do some yoga pregnancy poses-warrior pose, pigeon etc.
Avatar n tn The hospital I am delivering at has a new parent resource center and my yoga class is taught by a labor and delivery nurse who is also a yogi. She is amazing. I think yoga is amazing and anyone could benefit from it. We have girls ranging from 16-39 weeks in class. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Prenatal yoga is specific to pregnancy. There are certain poses to help with all the fun pregnancy related issues like back pain as well as keeping you limber for labor. It's nice because everyone in the class is pregnant so you feel surrounded with support and understanding of how you're feeling.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone knows if theres any excercises that are not safe to do while preggo?
Avatar f tn So I've dealt with some pain during this pregnancy, I've had a lot of migrains that raise my bp. I can control my bp though if I focus on being relaxed breathing good and work through the anxiety by zoning out of it best I can. So with that being said I'm looking into meditation and practicing it through my labor.
Avatar f tn I've had it w all 3 of my pregnancies. It's miserable. You can't really take anything for it-Tylenol doesn't do anything. Yes a chiropractor can help. What really helped me was stretching & yoga. Stretch every night & a fee times a day. Yoga poses that really helped are the warrior pose, the pigeon, & child's pose. Look them up online-but it's the only thing that helped me.

Avatar f tn So officials are filming hundreds of yoga poses and translating ancient Sanscrit texts. They plan to send the results to patent offices around the world next month, the Washington Post reports. It's an outgrowth of a project called the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library, which was originally created to fight patents on traditional Indian medicine — like turmeric for wound healing, which received a U.S. patent that was later withdrawn after India objected.
Avatar f tn Talk to your instructor for modifications!
Avatar f tn Try alternating between the dog and cat yoga poses. There are videos on YouTube to show you how. That's how I got my baby to turn off of my back. It might work for transverse as well. Not sure, but it's worth a shot and feels good on your back as an extra bonus.
Avatar m tn Can twisting the torso and holding it as in some yoga poses cause damage to the pylorus or any other organ that might result in gastroparesis? Also, has anyone been able to control gastroparesis by chewing longer to more thoroughly pulverize food?
382218 tn?1341181487 t discuss Yoga as a weight training modality, especially the standing poses, and arm balances (Crow, Crane, Peacock, etc.) Yoga can be quite intense, depending on ability and poses attempted. I had a Yoga teacher who had been practicing some 30 years before she had her first bone density scan at age 55. Her MD told her she had the bones of a 20 year old!
Avatar f tn I shared with this a co-worker who experienced the same problem and figured she was getting gas lodged in the wrong parts of her body so she did gas relieving yoga poses when she was in pain. Her body was more likely to get gas from carrots, hummus, and edamame so you'll need to determine what foods your body can process. Now, I make sure I do yoga poses that relieves gas before bed and eat at least 2 hours before bed.
Avatar f tn Hi do some yoga stretches will help.
Avatar f tn What has helped me is stretching. Doing yoga. Look online for pregnancy yoga poses or get a prenatal yoga DVD if you don't have time for a class. Also get a maternity support belt to wear during the day. It will really help.
Avatar f tn u should go to thehospital girl cuz u never know i think u are in labor!!
Avatar f tn I try and I do some of the poses and stretches buuut I don't know if it's because my uterus is getting bigger and is sitting right on that nerve but it hurts terribly. I mainly try the poses that pull my uterus off my spine (momentarily of course) but I'm just scared that I might be doing a pose unsafely... That's why I do the class... She modifies poses based on our individual week. My husband massages the area sometimes too.
Avatar f tn There is pregnancy poses as an alternative to a lot of the yoga poses that we should be extra cautious about. Look it up on the web. If you feel any discomfort at any time, take the child's pose, even though the others are doing something else.
Avatar f tn Exercise helps a lot with lower back pain. I walk a lot and also do yoga. Don't let your muscles stiffen, standing up all day doesn't help with that! You can google prenatal yoga and will find tons of web sites with poses for pregnant women.
Avatar n tn I had a thyroid lobectomy 20 days ago. Can I start practicing Yoga? What yoga poses shouldn't i do after thyroid surgery ?
Avatar f tn Yoga is good while pregnant but make sure you are doing poses and stretches appropriate for pregnant women.
1539379 tn?1294332115 The number of anxiety attacks seems to have been growing with me, so I wanted to pass along somethings that have alleviated some of the symptoms. Exercise - particularly yoga (even it if seems girly or kinda dumb), has been particularly soothing & help for a range of my symptoms. It helps me relax, and they even have poses that help with digestion. I've also gotten involved with running. I used to dislike it, but now I absolutely love it.
Avatar n tn Haha! You're not the first person that's suggested brain freezing the baby to encourage a move. I have hilarious visions of what this would look/feel like for a tiny internal person. Folk do swear by it though so it's not getting ruled out. If the yoga poses can double use and help my back ache, I'm game for that too! Thanks for the advice.
Avatar f tn It's normal. I'm 31 wks in my 3rd pregnancy. I always get it but it's more my lefy butt/hip. Try some stretching. Some great yoga poses are the warrior pose, pigeon, etc. look on Pinterest for prenatal yoga poses too. if you stretch a little even just ten minutes before bed you'll feel a huge improvement.
Avatar m tn //www.popsugar.com/fitness/Debloating-Yoga-Poses-30797559 To avoid this, I try to not eat things that do not agree with me, don't overeat and don't eat close to bed time.
Avatar f tn Maybe some light walking or really light yoga but no its not otherwise, especially in the first trimester, if it's too much you can miscarry.
Avatar n tn I am a 61 yo female, in very good health, about to have cataract surgery. I do yoga 5 days a week and am wondering if this surgery will prevent me doing inverted poses(I do not do headstands, just down dogs) in the long run. I know I will have to refrain from these in the weeks following surgery. However, will I have to refrain from inverted poses forever? If I can do them, what are the risks, if any. Would appreciate your response.
