“Is it safe to get a massage while pregnant?”

Pregnancy is a magical and marvelous time. Your body is doing unbelievable things, like increasing forgetfulness from the cocktail of hormones flowing through you, elevating your blood volume up to 50% and, of course growing a tiny person in just nine months! 

Pregnancy can also be a challenging time for your body. There will be the added emotional stresses and difficulty in coping with things that once weren’t so hard (thanks, hormones – pass the tissues, please).  However, with all of the extra pressures and tensions that come with the delight of this time, treating yourself to a lovely pregnancy massage can be a fantastic way to remove stress and experience some much-needed relaxation. Contrary to common myths, a pregnancy massage is completely safe after the first trimester and can enhance your well-being and your baby’s too! 

The great news? There is now even more research to support you in taking a calming moment for yourself and booking a blissful pregnancy massage
