A member asked:
Can i have a massage even if im pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure, carefully.: Some physical therapists have special training and are qualified to perform massage during pregnancy. Make sure you do your research before agreeing to such a massage, as excessive or dangerous manipulation could cause pregnancy complications such as preterm labor, or placental abruption. Careful massage is not only safe but also beneficial during pregnancy to alleviate common complaints of aches.

Could you receive a prenatal massage in your 9th or 10th week of pregnancy? I received a spa package as a gift and it includes a prenatal massage.
