I'm feeling a lot of aches and pains, and a good body massage sounds heavenly. Is it safe to get a body massage during pregnancy, or should I avoid it?
When I had gestational diabetes, I became super cautious about everything happening to my body. My doctor told me gentle leg massages are fine for circulation, but to avoid any hard pressure or deep tissue therapy. Keep safety in mind and ask your gynac once.
It is safe, but only if you hire a certified prenatal massage specialist. Don't let regular local parlor ladies do it because they don't know the safe pressure points. I booked a proper home service therapist on weekends and it worked wonders for my work stress.
Pregnancy body pain is so exhausting and real, I used to cry sometimes in my third trimester. A very gentle leg and back massage with warm olive oil was the only thing that kept me sane. Just make sure the strokes are extremely gentle.
Please consult your doctor before getting any body massage. I had some blood pressure issues in my fifth month and my gynac strictly forbade any massages as it can trigger complications. Always check with your doctor first.
Hamare yahan toh purani dai ma ko bulakar halka tel lagate the pairon aur peeth par, bahut aaram milta tha. Bas pet par bilkul dabav mat dalwana, sab dheere-dheere hi karwana.
