As an expectant mother, you should not just be massaged by anyone as this could be putting your life and that of the unborn child in danger. Below are some of the signs that will tell you that the massage therapist is not qualified:
- If he does not have a certificate as proof that he is a professional pregnancy massage therapist: If the massage therapist does not have proof that he has gone through training that qualifies his as a pregnancy massage therapist, do not proceed with the massage. Look for another massage spa.
- If he will not inquire about your pregnancy: Before the massage commences, a professional massage therapist should ask questions regarding your pregnancy. He should seek to know if this is your first pregnancy and if it is not, how the first pregnancy was. There is a form that one has to fill in regards to her state of health so that he can know if it is right to go on with the massage or not.
- They will refuse to offer the massage if you are in your first trimester: A professional pregnancy massage therapist should be able to offer massage at any stage of the pregnancy. The only reason why a massage should not be carried out is when there is a high risk of losing the pregnancy if a massage is carried out.
- If he tells you to lie in a position that puts you and the baby at risk: a professional massage therapist should be able to help you to get in the most comfortable and safest position. If for instance, he tells you to lie on your belly in the third trimester, do not go on with the massage.
