I'm a pregnant massage therapist.what oil should a use during treatments to keep my baby safe. is it safe to do massage treat in my first trimester. ?

Most massage oils: are safe in pregnancy. It is perfectly safe to perform massage in the first trimester. Be careful in the second and third, as too much time on your feet could make you lightheaded, but if it doesn't, it is fine to give massages then as well. Hope this helps!
