40 ARE PRENATAL MASSAGES SAFE?

-

Yes. No-one needs a day of pampering more than a pregnant woman. Always ask your doctor for the go-ahead and make sure you go to a masseuse certified in prenatal massage. Don’t lie on your back after 18 weeks. Most places will let you lie face down on a table with a cutout. Avoid aromathera­py oils in the first three months of pregnancy. A certified masseuse will know what is safe.
