  • Work only with therapists specially trained in prenatal treatments. Certain areas of the body should never be massaged during pregnancy, and it's vital that your therapist knows this. There are also many positions that are uncomfortable or unsafe for pregnant women, and a certified specialist will understand those needs.
  • Never use a hot Jacuzzi or steam room while pregnant. It's unsafe for expectant women to spend prolonged time under hot conditions. Also, don't receive any body wraps that require you to be constricted and hot.
  • Your skin is more sensitive during pregnancy, so exercise caution with your facial treatments. It is recommended that pregnant women avoid abrasive facials, since the skin is more delicate. Consider options that emphasize relaxation, and save the deep cleansing for a post-baby treat.
