Can I have a massage when I am pregnant?

For every woman, pregnancy is the greatest happy event in life. However, there are too many taboos after pregnancy that trouble many women. Can you have a massage when you are pregnant? Massage is not recommended during pregnancy. Some ingredients in the plant essences in massage oil can cause miscarriage in pregnant women. Large amounts of massage oil can cause the development of the fetus, causing lifelong effects. However, massaging any part of the pregnant woman's body except the waist and abdomen without using massage oil will not harm the fetus!

1. Disadvantages of massage during pregnancy

①Massage may involve certain acupoints. Some acupoints may not have any effect on normal massage, but may cause uterine contractions during pregnancy and induce miscarriage. Suggestions: In addition, many people usually need to use essential oils or massage oils that relax muscles and promote blood circulation when they massage. These things that relax muscles and promote blood circulation can be highly absorbed and promote blood circulation. On the one hand, it may affect the fetus, and on the other hand, it may cause miscarriage. So no massage.

② It is recommended not to have massage during pregnancy. Massage can help invigorate menstruation and promote blood circulation, but it may cause miscarriage during pregnancy.

2. The correct method of pregnancy massage

During pregnancy, you can massage all parts of your body except your abdomen and waist, but don't massage too hard or for too long.

3. Precautions during pregnancy

① It is recommended to pay attention to balanced nutrition during pregnancy, eat more vegetables and fruits, and ensure adequate intake of nutrients such as protein. You can appropriately supplement some vitamins and minerals, which is beneficial to the health of the fetus and mother. Another point is to pay attention to health care during pregnancy, get more rest and do appropriate activities. And go to regular hospitals for prenatal check-ups regularly.

② Radioactive examinations should be avoided during pregnancy. As of 2013, there is no accurate statistics on how many X-rays will cause teratogenesis, but it is conceivable that the more times you take them, the greater the impact. In particular, relatively high doses of radiation, such as nuclear medicine examinations and CT scans, should be avoided after pregnancy is known. However, if an X-ray is taken due to an unknown pregnancy, then just like taking cold medicine as mentioned above, there is no need to abort the fetus. Instead, the baby needs to be observed during future prenatal checkups. If a pregnant woman knows she is pregnant, she should try to avoid harm from drugs and radiation. However, if she has been exposed because she was unaware of the pregnancy, she should not keep blaming herself. She should have subsequent prenatal checkups to determine whether there is any harm to the fetus, and decide whether to abort or keep the fetus before 24 weeks of pregnancy.
