Pregnancy yoga for round ligament pain

Рет қаралды 58,927

Күн бұрын

Round ligament pain is often felt as a sharp shooting pain in the lower belly and groin. It is caused by the ligaments stretching as the uterus expands. If you're unsure whether you have round ligament pain please go and see your doctor first.
This class will help you to gently stretch the area and use breath work to relax the body (which can also help relieve pain.)
This class is suitable for all trimesters.

This really worked for me, I went from nearly being unable to walk to almost normal within a couple of days (did the routine every day). Recommended it to a friend suffering from round ligament pain too :) Thank you so much!

I just wanted to share that this gave me IMMEDIATE relief from pain that felt pretty severe over several days (I consider myself to have a high pain tolerance). I am 17 weeks and this is my first pregnancy. I was in tears, having trouble getting up and down. I was about to go to an ER and/or call my doctor. I was trying not to freak out and acquire a good ol American medical bill so I looked around here on KZfaq to see others' experiences with round ligament pain. I had trouble getting down onto the floor but after trying this my pain is gone and I got up off the floor just fine. Amazing. If you are suffering please try this ❤

I wound up in the ER twice due to this pain and then I found this video and it almost helped immediately! I now have a 2 years old but I remember this pain!

Bettina I am so grateful for you!! For the past three years I have been practicing daily with Yoga with Adriene. When we began IVF and eventually got pregnant I was so afraid of being destabilized in my daily practice because her pregnancy resources are so minimal. The daily practice has brought so much steadiness to my life and I feared losing it and myself along the way. Then I found you ❤ THANK YOU for being an amazing resource throughout the journey.

I'm 34 weeks pregnant was in the hospital twice suffering from extreme pain and what I thought was a right inguinal hernia. I was discharged last night with the diagnosis of round ligament pain. I couldn't believe it. I have a very high tolerance for pain and never took pain meds even after an emergency appendectomy. This was the worst pain I've felt in my life. It was even causing contractions on the monitor, although I was completely closed/ not dilated. I found your video and it was such a godsend. I slowed it down to x 0.5 and it was perfect. Thank you so much for sharing the precious gift of your time and knowledge with the world.

This helped me so much, im 16+3 weeks today and round ligament pain has kicked in since entering my 2nd trimester, but especially this week! this is my 1st pregnancy so it makes sense for it to be very uncomfortable and sometimes painful because I also have a short torso, but this yoga session has helped a lot, along with my belly band :) I practice yoga everyday now (I was doing yoga prior to pregnancy so I knew it was still safe for me) so glad I came across this session today! Thank you :) I will also be seeing a pregnancy specified chiropractor in a couple of weeks so im really looking forward to that as well during my pregnancy :)

I was told to try magnesium and a heating pad but it was not helping the pain. After doing this yoga, I felt instant relief. I’m so happy and thankful for you. I haven’t felt this good in a while.

@BettinaRae 3 жыл бұрын

At 5 weeks it’s very normal to be cramping a little bit. This early I would just be resting. You can try some of my first trimester classes however they won’t really stop the cramps as it is your uterus doing what it needs to do. Congratulations by the way!

Niharika, we don’t create any pelvic tension in this class so it should be okay for placenta previa. I would check with your midwife or doctor first though.
