What to expect?

During a pregnancy massage, you can expect the following:

1. Consultation: Before the massage begins, the therapist will likely ask you about your medical history, current pregnancy, and any specific areas of concern or discomfort.
2. Positioning: Depending on your stage of pregnancy and comfort level, you may be asked to lie on your side or sit upright in a chair during the massage. The therapist will use pillows and other supports to help you feel comfortable and secure.
3. Massage: The therapist will use gentle, soothing strokes and techniques to massage your back, legs, arms, and other areas of the body as needed. The massage may be done with or without oil or lotion.
4. Communication: It is important to communicate with the therapist about your comfort level and any areas of concern. If at any time during the massage you feel uncomfortable or in pain, you should let the therapist know.
5. Length of session: Pregnancy massage sessions typically last for 30-60 minutes, but this can vary depending on your needs and preferences.

After the massage, you should be able to relax and rest for a few minutes before getting up and getting dressed. You may feel relaxed and energized after the massage, or you may feel a little sore or tired. This is normal and should resolve within a few hours.

Pregnancy massage should be performed by a qualified therapist who is trained in prenatal massage techniques and is aware of the precautions and contraindications that need to be considered when working with pregnant women.
