Pamper yourself in pregnancy; Spa is safe!!

Whether you are pregnant or not every women needs some kind of pampering at the spa, everyday a women goes through mental and physical stress and the only way to beat is a massage at a holistic spa. During pregnancy too spa can be so relieving and will definitely do some good to you. There are basically no risk involved in getting a spa done when you are pregnant. A pregnant women most often suffers from back aches, shoulder tightness, ankle swelling, cramps in the calves all these can be treated by a good massage. But before you start the spa make sure you inform the therapist that you are pregnant and by how many weeks. 

Going for a spa would be best in your second trimester as the first trimester morning sickness can make you uncomfortable. Most of the holistic Spa's that we see or go to have some very soothing music and they also have some super aromatic fragrances in normal times these aromas make you feel great but if you are pregnant and in the first trimester these aromas can cause morning sickness and instead of returning relaxed you will come back feeling sick and even more tired. This is the reason i mentioned start your spa only in the second trimester when you are through morning sickness and more relaxed.

When taking your spa make sure you are seated or lying down completely relaxed and feeling no kind of strain anywhere in your body. In case lying down is not comfortable ask the therapist to give you a sofa to rest on. Opt for an aromatic oil instead of a cream or lotion, oils like lavender, rosemary, ylang ylang, will not only make your skin soft they will also help relax your aching limbs.

Creams and lotions should be avoided as in many cases women skin tends to get sensitive and these creams can lead to unnecessary break outs or rash.

While getting your head and neck done make sure, the therapist is gentle and soft , while getting your back done do not lean too much on your stomach and when she massages your back make sure the pressure she is giving is fine ad not causing any kind of discomfort. Getting your feet pressed is like a huge blessing, as your poor foot has been carrying all the weight around and a soothing massage will definitely help calm your aching calves and ankles. While getting your foot spa please tell the therapist not to oil your foot souls and to massage the souls without any oil or cream or lotion as even after they do wipe your feet clean any kind of oil or cream can make your foot souls slippery and increase your chances of falling.

Spa is a wonderful way to feel rejuvenated and has no harm at all so go ahead and enjoy a lovely day at your favorite spa, and also do enjoy a cup of herbal tea that they will serve you green teas or herbal teas are very good again for relaxing and rejuvenating of the mind and body. Pampering yourself is every women's right because you are worth it.
