It’s probably best to avoid spas and saunas during pregnancy. Raising your body temperature could affect the circulation of blood and nutrients to your baby, which may cause problems.
Beside above, what spa treatments are safe when pregnant?
In general, waxing, gentle body scrubs and facials (so long as they don’t contain harsh ingredients like retinoids or salicylic acid), are safe, whereas long soaks in the hot tub or stints in the sauna are not (both can raise your body temperature). Others, including massage, should wait until the second trimester.
Simply so, can I have a back massage when pregnant?
The answer is: Generally, yes. Massage therapy during pregnancy has been shown to provide many benefits, including a sense of wellness, improved relaxation, and better sleep. But certain techniques and trigger points in the body can cause contractions and premature labor, so seeking expertise is vital.
