Prenatal massages are an absolute must for any mom-to-be. Pregnancy isn’t the most comfortable experience in a woman’s life. Early pregnancy sees a flood of hormones that can make you feel emotional and weepy, and you might experience cramping. Later in your pregnancy, you may have swollen extremities, bloated ankles and leg pain, an aching back, a tension headache, and other imbalances. A regular massage can relieve some of the aches and pains and help relax your body, mind, and spirit. Take an hour or so to yourself and be pampered until your heart is content and you feel fabulous. Little Steps has rounded up a selection of their favorite spa treatments in salons, hotels, or even in your own home.
