indications for prenatal massage
Due to the very significant physical and hormonal changes that occur in the
pregnant woman, massage is not recommended during the first trimester. The second and
third trimesters are ideal for starting prenatal massage.
For the massage product, I use unscented organic oils, firstly because
many pregnant women have an aversion to strong smells and especially because
some essential oils are not indicated during pregnancy.
Massage can be performed once a week during the second trimester,
and twice a week or more, during the third trimester.
