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.

A prenatal massage (pregnancy massage) is a therapeutic massage adapted for pregnant women. It uses modified positioning, cushioning, and gentle techniques to safely address the physical discomforts of pregnancy: including back and hip pain, swollen legs and feet, tension, and fatigue.

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 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.
