Cupping therapy during pregnancy must be approached with caution to ensure the safety of both the mother and the developing fetus. Safely performed cupping is generally limited to certain areas of the body and specific time frames during pregnancy.

The lower back is the correct area for cupping during pregnancy. This region can be targeted, particularly in the context of alleviating discomfort and tension, which is common as the body undergoes various changes. Performing cupping on the lower back up to six months is considered safe because it does not directly impact the abdomen or the areas where the baby is developing.

During early and late pregnancy, there are greater considerations for the health of both the mother and the fetus. Cupping on the abdomen, regardless of the gestational age mentioned in the other choices, is generally avoided due to the risk of affecting the uterus and fetus. Thus, focusing on the lower back provides a way to manage symptoms without introducing additional risk factors.
