Epsom salt bath

[Carlamorales1992]

Has anyone had those? I'd it safe?
How much of it do you put in the bath? Does it really help with swelling?

Magnesium is really good for you and the baby. I usually put maybe 2 cups in the bath

I took them CONSTANTLY when I had a yeast infection because it was the only thing that helped with the swelling and pain down there and yes its safe and I used a half a cup to a cup full

Very safe, I would usually put half a cup or so/ a few tablespoons. I haven't had Epsom salts around recently so used Himalayan rock salt instead in a bath at before bed, swelling was much better in the morning but can't tell if it was from a salt bath or just sleeping :p Either way, Epsom salt baths are very healthy in pregnancy anyway so no harm in trying...
