What is prenatal massage?
Prenatal massage uses techniques similar to those during a Swedish, but with modifications to accommodate for the safety and wellbeing of you and your baby. Prenatal massage is performed by a licensed therapist that also goes through additional education and training to be able to provide massage to expecting moms.
When can I have one done?
You can actually schedule a service through any part of your pregnancy. It is safe to schedule during your 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Although many clinics and spas will not schedule an expecting mom until their 2nd trimester, there is no indication that a massage cannot be performed during your 1st trimester.
Depending on how far along you are will depend on the modifications that need to be made to ensure you receive the most comfortable and safe massage experience.
