When to Avoid Pregnancy Massages • Pregnancy massage therapy or pre-natal massage is tailored for expectant mothers needs. But before you do anything, make sure you have consulted your doctor first.
High-risk pregnancy category • Do not go for a massage if you have pregnancy-induced illnesses, such as hypertension or high blood pressure, preeclampsia, blood clots, gestational diabetes, nausea or morning sickness, placental dysfunction, diarrhoea, and severe headaches.
And Remember… • If you feel sick, lightheaded or hurt during a massage, tell the therapist immediately; it’s better not to do pregnancy massages when you experience discomfort and pain.
These Massage‌ • Natural remedies are safe even during pregnancy, if done by a professional, qualified therapist, or specially trained practitioner. Pregnancy massage has gained popularity through the years because it has been helpful in reducing general pregnancy discomfort.
