Ask about pregnancy-specific training, positioning, and coordination with your care team.
Understand the question
Pregnancy is important context for any hands-on wellness service. Ask about the therapist's relevant training, screening, and positioning options. Share any restrictions or concerns from your maternity care team instead of assuming a general massage booking covers them.
Put it in everyday context
Before booking, describe the stage of pregnancy and any instructions you have been given. Ask whether the provider needs additional information before the appointment. A clear conversation can reveal whether the service and setting are appropriate for you.
A comparison to avoid
Treating a standard appointment as automatically suitable during pregnancy can leave important individual questions unanswered.
