It is a wonderful way to reduce stress, leg cramps, and backache during pregnancy. The masseuse will use soft strokes and avoid specific pressure points on your ankles and wrists. Always get it done by someone trained in prenatal therapy.
It is a specialized gentle massage done to relieve pregnancy aches and improve circulation. I only got it done in my second trimester after my doctor confirmed it was safe, and paired it with light prenatal yoga.
After my IVF journey, I was extremely scared to do anything, even a basic massage. When I finally got a gentle prenatal massage in my 6th month, it brought so much relief and emotional relaxation. Just make sure your doctor gives you the go-ahead first.
From what I have read, it is a very gentle massage designed for pregnant mothers to relax their muscles. I hope to experience it someday soon when we conceive, it sounds so relaxing.
It is a soothing massage using natural oils like coconut or sesame to reduce body stiffness. Just ensure the therapist is certified and never applies pressure on the lower back or belly. If you have any pain or swelling, ask your doctor first.
With twins, my back was screaming for help, so pregnancy massage was my weekly highlight! It is a gentle massage where you lie on your side with lots of pillows supporting your bump. Just make sure the therapist knows what they are doing!
