How Safe is Pregnancy Massage?

It is natural for new mothers and fathers to have some initial concern about just how safe pregnancy massage is and how it might affect their baby or the mother’s health during pregnancy. Luckily, massage during pregnancy is not only safe but when done correctly can re-energize mums and give them the strength and relief to make it through their pregnancy with ease and more enjoyment. Many doctors recognize and recommend massage as a way for expecting mothers to prepare for birth, with the greatest benefits experienced from consistent treatments. For reasons that are always super important for the baby and mother, we recommend that if the mother is wanting to have massage throughout their pregnancy, that they wait until second trimester to pursue, it is a contraindication for the therapist to treat in first trimester.
