Prenatal massages are specially adapted massages for pregnant women, typically involving cushioned support to safely accommodate the body’s changing shape. Prenatal massages can help reduce stress hormones, increase blood circulation, and promote physical and emotional relaxation. They may also help relieve insomnia, neck and back pain, sciatica, headache, and swellings.

It’s always best to ask your doctor if and when you should have a prenatal massage. Many massage therapists will not give pregnant women massages until they’re in their second trimester of pregnancy.

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.
