massage during pregnancy

Is it safe for a woman to receive massage during pregnancy? Some massage classes say massage of the feet, and/ or calves, or during the first trimester, could cause a miscarriage. Other classes say it is safe to massage a woman throughout her pregnancy, only avoiding deep pressure. Still other classes specifically recommend extra work on a pregnant woman's feet and calves. Any advice or information is greatly appreciated.

Hi Pam, I went to a chiro. during pregnancy and it really helped a lot. Massage coupled with Chiro was what helped me the most. I have three bulging discs from two car accidents so I was already established with both my chiro and my massage therapist. Thankfully both were experienced in treating pregnant women. It really was a life saver. I hope it helps you.

During one of the massages I was naked, but there was a towel covering me during the massage. After the massage when the massuse left the room i masterbated into the towel then left. Also During the massage i got an erection and precum or ejaculate got onto the sheets and towel. Should i be worried that they massuse or someone after me could have gotten pregnant.

It is normal for you to become more uncomfortable. Some women are the opposite. It just depends on your body, and to be honest, each pregnancy can be completely different. There are other ways to please him without making yourself uncomfortable. Maybe try being on top so you can control exactly what happens and when to stop because it becomes uncomfortable. And there's always oral sex, and sensual massage. Actually the sensual massage could be something that would come in helpful in labor.

It is going to be vital for you to get regular massage during your pregnancy especially with the added weight and strain on your lower back. Hip flexors, gleuts, lower back muscles are key to keeping your spine healthy and without further injury during your pregnancy. Hope this helps!

Are you trying to lighten spots? I had melasma during my first pregnancy (mask of pregnancy and had darkening spots on my face. :>( ) I went to a dermatologist for it who basically said that lightening creams don't really work when applied to a spot. Because it is really hard to get it just where you need it and lightens all the skin around the spot too, so spot is still noticable. I waited until I gave birth to see if it went away and it did.

I would talk to your dr about the headaches. While not uncommon during pregnancy they can be dangerous. I had a killer migraine and had to go into the hospital; im further along in the pregnancy but they can lead to complications so have to be watched.

As I am a massage therapist. Most massage therapist will not massage you during first trimester because if something goes wrong with baby you might feel it's there fault and Sue them. But I give massage in first trimester I walk then through it. Also some massage therapist might ask for dr note.

I have fibro and for the most part it has been under control during my pregnancy. I'm 21wks, and honestly just the last wk or 2 it has gotten bad in my calves and legs b.c that's where I have pain anyway and with the cramps you get being pregnant it got worse.

During the reproductive years, the pituitary gland in the brain generates hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH]) that cause a new egg to mature and be released from its ovarian follicle each month. As the follicle develops, it produces the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which thicken the lining of the uterus called the endometrium.

Just wondering if anyone else has used primrose oil for perineal massage during pregnancy. If you are looking for ways to have a more 'natural' childbirth, this really does work so you don't end up needing an episiotomy.

Others will have you lay on your side, but i asked dr prior to going and she said it was totally fine as long as it was a prenatal/pregnancy massage. I 100% recommend it for anyone!!! I want another, but am at 38 weeks, so i'm almost done and massages are not cheap.

Whats the difference between a regular massage and a pregnancy massage??

This is my 4th pregnancy (3rd successful pregnancy) and I've always wanted to get a pregnancy massage but not sure if it'll be worth it. Has anyone had one before and how was it?
