bathing in epsom salt

[tashanfamily]

before i was pregnant i suffered with a tense muscle in lower back/bottom area which causes alot of pain, taking strong pain killers before but obviously not now and now being pregnant its getting worse. ive heard that epsom salts help with muscular problems when put in bath water. im now in my 2nd trimester.
im just wondering if any one out there has used them and any advice would be very grateful as im in so much pain.
thank you xx

Hi there, I'm bumping this because I'd also like to know if taking a bath in epsom salts is ok in pregnancy, am 17 weeks. Thanks in advance

My mum has a bag of Epsom Salts at home and it definitely says not to be used when pregnant. If that helps...!

Thanks isabella

Baths in Epsom Salts are fine, drinking them however is what is not advised in pregnancy!

Thanks Jeez I meant to bathe in them, I had a bath last night and all seemed fine. I rang my mother who said she always had an epsom salts bath

Go and enjoy a nice soak :)
