My mother-in-law keeps telling me that massage is very good during pregnancy. Is massage truly good in pregnancy, and what kind of massage is safe? I'm in my second trimester.
I am in my second trimester and my back is killing me, so I've been thinking about getting a light massage. I'm a bit anxious about whether it's safe—did anyone else get regular back massages during this phase?
A light massage really helped me stay relaxed and active, which ultimately helped in my normal delivery. Just hire an experienced massage didi who knows how to handle pregnant bodies gently.
I am currently planning my pregnancy and love massages, so I was actually wondering about this! Is it safe to use normal oils like sesame or olive oil, or do we need special prenatal oils?
A gentle massage can help with muscle soreness! I prefer doing light prenatal stretching and walking, which my gynac allowed, to keep my body active. If you go for a massage, make sure you don't lie flat on your back.
Taking care of your body is so important, just stay positive and pamper yourself. A gentle massage with warm coconut oil can relax your mind and body. May God bless you with a smooth journey ahead.
Prenatal massage is great, but my doctor strictly said to avoid it during the first trimester. Also, make sure the masseuse is certified for prenatal massage and never put pressure on the abdomen or certain acupressure points on the ankles.
