IS IT SAFE TO HAVE A MASSAGE WHILE I’M PREGNANT?

IT IS PERFECTLY SAFE TO HAVE A MASSAGE IN YOUR SECOND AND THIRD TRIMESTERS OF PREGNANCY.  IT IS USUALLY RECOMMENDED TO WAIT UNTIL YOUR SECOND TRIMESTER. SOME AREAS WILL BE AVOIDED NO MATTER HOW HEALTHY YOU ARE NOR WHAT TRIMESTER YOU ARE IN FOR YOUR SAFETY.  

ALSO, SOME ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE MADE.  YOU WILL LIE ON YOUR SIDE, INSTEAD OF ABDOMEN. SOME MASSAGE THERAPISTS HAVE SPECIAL TABLES OR BOLSTERS THAT ALLOW YOU TO LIE ON YOUR ABDOMEN, BUT ALTHOUGH THEY ARE COMFORTABLE, JUST IMAGINE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THEM. THAT BEING SAID, I PREFER TO JUST HAVE YOU LIE ON YOUR SIDE WITH PILLOWS AND BOLSTERS AVAILABLE TO PROP YOURSELF UP.   IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW WOMAN WHO CANNOT LIE ON YOUR BACK EITHER, WE CAN DO THE ENTIRE MASSAGE ON YOUR SIDE.  WHATEVER ADJUSTMENTS WE NEED TO MAKE TO KEEP YOU COMFORTABLE, SO YOU CAN RELAX AND ENJOY YOUR MASSAGE, WE ARE HERE READY TO PLEASE YOU AND HELP YOU FIND YOUR ZONE.  IT DOESN’T JUST END HERE, YOU WILL SLEEP BETTER AFTERWARDS, TOO.

IS PRENATAL MASSAGE ONLY FOR RELAXATION?

I HAVE BACK PAIN.

PRENATAL MASSAGE CERTAINLY ADDRESSES YOUR PAIN, WHETHER IT’S IN YOUR BACK, HIPS, NECK, HEAD, LEGS, FEET; ALL THE SHIFTING OF YOUR WEIGHT CAN WREAK HAVOC ON YOUR BODY.  WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU.  

WHEN DO I HAVE TO STOP HAVING PRENATAL MASSAGES?

YOU ONLY HAVE TO AVOID MASSAGE IN THE BEGINNING OF YOUR PREGNANCY.  ONCE YOU ARE PAST YOUR FIRST TRIMESTER, YOU HAVE GET MASSAGES (IF YOU ARE WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS, WHICH MAY PROHIBIT MASSAGE) RIGHT UP TO THE END.  IN FACT, YOU CAN EVEN GET PRENATAL MASSAGES DURING LABOR.  IT HELPS KEEP YOU RELAXED.  ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR, BUT WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS, YOU CAN EXPECT THE GREEN LIGHT.
