FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

Is prenatal massage safe during all trimesters?

Prenatal massage is generally safe throughout pregnancy but is often avoided in the first trimester due to miscarriage concerns. Always consult with your doctor before scheduling a session.

What position will I be in during the massage?

You will be positioned side-lying with supportive pillows to ensure comfort. If needed, semi-reclined positions can also be used.

Can prenatal massage help with labor preparation?

Yes! Massage can help relax the pelvic muscles, improve circulation, and promote hormonal balance, all of which support a smoother labor and delivery.

Will prenatal massage induce labor?

Prenatal massage does not induce labor when performed correctly. However, in the final weeks, some techniques can help prepare the body for birth naturally.

How often should I get a prenatal massage?

For general relaxation, once a month is beneficial. In the third trimester, weekly or biweekly sessions can help ease discomfort and prepare the body for birth.
