Motherhood presents its own unique set of challenges and an entire arsenal of feelings. In addition to the muddled hormones and the nausea of morning sickness, you’ll also be hit with a slew of new emotions. Being one of the top prenatal massage specialist in Singapore, we are often asked by pregnant mothers “When can I start Prenatal Massage?”
When can I start Prenatal Massage?
This is a frequent concern, as many pregnant women have aches and pains as early as the first trimester.
More people are choosing to work from home, and this trend is likely to increase the number of people who experience discomfort in their bodies due to poor posture and the use of non-ergonomic seats. That’s right; I’ve been there and done that myself.
Here then is the solution to the age-old query: “When may I begin prenatal massage?”
Prenatal massage therapy is safe to begin between the ages of 16 and 32 weeks.
Can I have massage when I am pregnant?
Yes, you can have massages during pregnancy. Some of the discomforts associated with pregnancy can be alleviated with a prenatal massage. There are risks involved, and it shouldn’t be used in every pregnancy.
Pregnancy massage may help you feel more relaxed and healthy. For expectant mothers, there is prenatal massage, a special kind of massage therapy developed just for this time in their lives.
Some of the potential benefits include relieving stress, easing physical discomfort, and recharging energy levels. Some expectant moms even report feeling closer to their babies after receiving prenatal massage.
Is Prenatal Massage Safe?
Yes, prenatal massages are generally considered safe beyond the first trimester. It is important to first get an approval from your doctor before booking your prenatal massage sessions.
Pregnant women should avoid getting massages in the early stages of their pregnancies because of the risk of dizziness and an increase in nausea and vomiting.
If you’re expecting a child, prenatal massage is a wonderful way to relax and enjoy the experience. Pregnancy massage is beneficial for pregnant women because it reduces swelling, muscle strain, and stress.
But there are some high-traffic zones that should be avoided at all costs. At Cosmo Medical Spa, our experienced masseuses are trained to steer clear of areas that are unsafe for pregnancy, such as the pelvic, wrist, hand, and ankle areas.
Pregnant women should avoid getting deep tissue massages on their legs since it can increase their risk of developing blood clots in the uterus.
We take care to avoid any regions or pressure points that could have a negative impact on the pregnancy. You should avoid touching the fleshy areas right under the ankle bones on both ankles and the outside pinky toes.
How often should you do Prenatal Massage?
Prenatal massage not only helps you relax, but also has many other benefits. Although having daily massages sounds good, it is not the case during pregnancy.
We advise expecting mothers to get prenatal massages at least once (1) per week, up to two (2) times a week if your bodies require it.
It is always best to check with your doctor to see if they offer their approval before getting a massage.
A prenatal massage is a great way to reduce stress and enjoy your pregnancy. Stress is alleviated, the risk of depression is mitigated, and chemicals that promote restful sleep are released as a result.
Many expectant mothers have found that prenatal massage helps them retain less water by increasing circulation.
Is Prenatal Massage Suitable for me?
If you have any of the conditions below, you should not get a prenatal massage.
- Feeling unwell in the morning and/or constantly sick
- High Risk for Miscarriage
- High-Risk Pregnancy
- Pregnancy’s First Trimester
Prenatal massage is highly recommended if you do not suffer from the above and are experiencing:
- Water Retention
- Muscle Aches and Soreness

Please feel free to consult us before deciding whether a pregnancy massage is suitable for you. We are more than happy to advise you on this beautiful journey.

Award Winning Prenatal Massage – Cosmo Medical Spa
Prenatal massage has been demonstrated to boost ‘feel good’ hormones like serotonin and dopamine in sad women. It has been shown to lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and boost the expectant mother’s mood.
Of course, it’s a chance to treat yourself well, show your affection, and get your body in baby-ready shape. We hoped this might help you choose the appropriate time for me to begin massaging your pregnant belly.
This is the perfect present for the expecting mother from her future husband. Until she gives birth, what better way to show her how much you care than to give her a relaxing prenatal massage every week?
At Cosmo Medical Spa, we take pride in providing quality massage while keeping your baby safe and sound. We have over 30 years of experience in pre and postpartum treatments.
