How to Massage an Expectant Woman
When an expectant mother comes to your spa for a massage, you will not turn her away just because you have never done it before. Here is a guide on how to go about it:

• Make her as comfortable as possible: You spa should have a pillow designed for use by expectant mothers which will help in making sure the mother is comfortable while lying on the massage table.
• Allow the expectant mother to undress to the point she is comfortable in to make sure there are no awkward situations during the massage.
• Ask her if she has any medical issues before you get on with the massage to avoid harming either the mother or the baby in her womb during the massage.
• Ensure that the massage table will be easy to get on and also get off without the risk of having the expectant mother fall off.
• Ask her if she is comfortable with a scented or an unscented oil and use the one she prefers. At this point, a woman sense is very sensitive and you do not wish to have her vomit as a result of the strong smell.
• In the process of carrying out the massage, you should inquire if the client is comfortable and if she raises any concerns, you should address them immediately.

As an expectant woman, it is important to inquire if the therapist in the spa you wish to get the massage has an experience in prenatal massage. There is no need to risk the life of your child by going to a spa where the therapist has no knowledge or experience in prenatal massage.
You should be able to guide the therapist in the areas you want to be massaged and the kind of pressure you wish to get. If you feel extreme pain, speak up as this is the only way you can be assured of a great experience in massage.
