Massage and the baby

Can a pregnancy massage hurt my baby?

No. Massaging a healthy mom during a healthy pregnancy will not hurt the baby.

If your doctor mentioned you have a condition that may be affected by massage then it should be avoided. Furthermore, there are certain techniques that can be altered or avoided to ensure that the baby is not affected. More often than not, the baby will enjoy and benefit from a massage!
