🤰 Pregnancy Massage FAQs
🌸 How far along do I need to be?
You must be at least 12 weeks pregnant before booking. From then on, you can enjoy a pregnancy massage anytime right up until your due date (as long as you’re not already in labour 🤣).
A consultation form will be completed beforehand to ensure treatment is safe for you and baby.
🌸 Do I need to check with my midwife first?
Only if you have underlying conditions such as pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, or a history of pre-term labour. In these cases, written approval from your midwife/consultant is required.
🌸 How is it different from a regular massage?
It’s just as relaxing! You’ll lie on your side with supportive cushions for comfort, so you and your bump are fully supported.
🌸 What should I wear?
Anything comfy. Typically, clients undress to underwear (bra optional). You’ll be covered with towels at all times, and after your massage, you’ll want something cosy and easy to slip back into.
🌸 Do you massage the bump?
Not usually, as it’s such an intimate area between you and baby. But if you’d like your bump included, just let me know.
🌸 What if I need the loo?
Totally normal especially during pregnancy! There’s a private toilet in the treatment room. I recommend going before we start, but of course you can use it anytime and I’ll simply step out until you’re ready.
🌸 The most common question I’m asked…
👶🏻 How soon after baby is born can I have a massage?
You can usually treat yourself from 6 weeks postpartum depending on how your recovery is going. This applies to both vaginal and C - section births.
For C - section births, the wait may be a little longer, as the incision needs to be fully healed. I also offer a C-Section Recovery Treatment designed to:
✨ Support the healing process
✨ Reduce pain and sensitivity around the scar
✨ Release muscle restriction
✨ Improve scar tissue elasticity
Because your body deserves care as it recovers 💕
