Prenatal massages can ease some of the discomfort pregnancy can cause, plus they have the added benefit of helping you relax. The massage can also alleviate swelling, improve mood, and relieve depression and anxiety.

When you go for a conventional massage, you’ll usually lie down on your stomach for some, or all, of the treatment. This isn’t possible when you’re pregnant, so your therapist will use cushions to support your new shape enabling you to lie safely on your side or back. The massage technique will differ slightly, too; rather than applying any deep tissue pressure, your masseuse is likely to use long, sweeping strokes and work on the areas of your body that will benefit the most.

When performed by a therapist trained in pregnancy massage, prenatal massage is generally safe from the second trimester onwards. Most therapists do not massage during the first trimester. Always inform your therapist of your stage of pregnancy and any complications or medical conditions.

Prenatal massage relieves back, hip, and leg pain, reduces swelling (oedema), eases sciatic nerve discomfort, reduces anxiety and stress, improves sleep quality, and promotes general relaxation and wellbeing during pregnancy.
