It’s best to try treatments specifically designed for pregnant women, and to make sure that your therapist is fully conversant with any potential pitfalls. The most obvious thing is to make sure that the oils used are compatible with pregnancy, and to ensure that you are in a comfortable position – some spas offer special massage couches with a cut-out section to accommodate your belly; others will prop you on gloriously comfortable cushions.
