Prenatal massage

Prenatal massage are adapted for the anatomical changes you go through during pregnancy. In a traditional massage, you might spend half the time lying face-down on your stomach ( which is not possible with a baby belly) and half the time facing up ( a position that puts pressure on a major blood vessel that can disrupt blood flow to your baby and leave you feeling nauseous) .

But as your shape and posture changes, a trained massage therapist will make accommodations with special cushioning systems or holes that allow you to lie face down safely, while providing room for your growing belly and breasts. Or you might lie on your side with the support of pillows and cushions.
