Are Dharma Dr Tabs Safe to Use in Pregnancy?

Many customers ask if it’s safe to use Dharma Dr Tabs while pregnant. The Tabs are non-invasive and provide gentle vibration, lights, and audio. However, pregnancy requires extra caution, and there has not been clinical research specifically on EMDR devices like Dharma Dr during pregnancy.

What We Know

• Non-invasive: Tabs do not emit electrical currents into the body. They use only vibration, light, and sound.
• No known direct risks: Normal operation has no evidence of harm.
• Research gap: There are no clinical studies confirming safety during pregnancy.

Our Recommendation

• Consult your healthcare provider: Always check with your OB-GYN, midwife, or physician before use.
• Therapist involvement: If you are in EMDR therapy, discuss with your therapist so they can adapt protocols for your comfort and safety.

If You Choose to Use Tabs While Pregnant

• Start with gentle settings (low vibration, dim lights, shorter sessions).
• Stop immediately if you feel discomfort, dizziness, or unusual reactions.
• Avoid self-guided trauma processing during pregnancy without therapist guidance.

Tips & Best Practices

• Use Dharma Dr Tabs only under medical guidance during pregnancy.
• Consider limiting use to relaxation or grounding exercises if approved by your provider.
• Save deeper EMDR trauma work for sessions with a licensed EMDR therapist.

Important Reminder

While the Tabs are safe under normal use, pregnancy is a special condition where caution is essential. Always involve your healthcare provider before using Dharma Dr Tabs while pregnant.
