How to Use a Back Massager While Pregnant

Getting a back massage during pregnancy can be very beneficial for a mother-to-be. Not only will it reduce the pain and irritation, but it also will help increase circulation in the back, abdomen and belly. You should not, however, get a deep-tissue massage while you are pregnant. This can put too much pressure on sensitive parts in your back and sides and actually induce labor. In addition, you should wait to use any back massager or get a professional back massage until after your first trimester and no later than 36 weeks into the pregnancy.

 

Things You'll Need

• Handheld or chair massager
• Batteries or close electrical outlet
