Hi everyone. I am new you so HELLO!!!!!! :D
i have recently had my implanon implant removed and trying to conceive (still wating to see if i have my next period, hehe, very exciting)!!!!

i am going on holiday in October and wanted to tone up a bit so brought a Slendertone abb toner belt... when i read the instructions it said "do not use if pregnant".

I may be being stupid/simple... but i was wonder why this is... and do you think it is ok to use it whilst i am trying to concieve. or if you can use it in the very very early stages if i did fall pregnant very soon......?!?!

i have tired looking this up on the net and cant find any information....

can anyone help.... how do these belts harm the unborn baby???
 
:wave:

not sure about the belts but just wanted to say welcome to the forum and good luck TTC :hug:
 
i guess its because the belts contract the lower muscles and can be harmful to the womb. but its just a guess but if its says do not use then i deffo wouldnt.
 
I personally wouldn't use them they contract themuscles in your tummy and I think that this could be very harmful to your baby. I have no scientific knowledge of this though!
 
I've got one of these belts and they give your tummy a really good workout. I don't think I'd do when pregnant though.
 
they use electric shock to contract the muscles , i would presum this is the reason why !
