Gentle massages are great for leg cramps and backache. Just avoid lying flat on your back in later months. Always use light strokes and safe oils like coconut oil.
My hospital actually had a prenatal wellness wing where they did safe pregnancy massages. I asked my doctor first and they recommended their in-house certified therapist.
I was actually wondering about this too. Is it safe to get a massage in the first trimester, or should we wait? Do let me know if u find out any safe tips.
Yes, massage helped me so much during my pregnancy, especially for back pain. Just make sure the person doing it is experienced and doesn't apply pressure on the belly.
