So let talk Pregnancy massage....
What has been your experience with expant mothers?
So far I have only worked on ladies in their first trimester and barely showing. I am thinking about buying one of those "Preggo Pillows"but I have just been holding back for now.
RE: Pregnancy Massage
Hi - although am still studying, we were taught not to massage on pregnant woman in 1st trimester and 3rd trimester. I did however massage my sister's backafter 14 weeks and did it whilst she sat on a low stool - she felt much comfortable this way. Some pregnant woman would probably feel more comfortable laying on their sides nearing to the 3rd trimester.
What is a preggo pillow?

I just read the other pregnancy thread and I love the idea of the beanbag chair on the floor. That actually sound better than the preggo pillow.

I can fully recommend the bellybag.

I'm currently studying itec holistic massage (exams next week ahh) and gave birth to my daughter in April. I bought one of these for myself to use on the course and also for use afterwards. I can say first hand that they are very comfortable and very relaxing whilst having a massage, it takes all the weight away from the bump when laying on your tummy (and mine was very big, my daughter weighed in at a delicate 10lb 14oz and I'm only 5ft)
