Can pregnant women massage their shoulders, neck, and head1

  Pregnant women can massage their shoulders, neck, and head appropriately. Massaging the head can relieve fatigue, help pregnant women enter sleep better, and provide sufficient rest, which is also beneficial for the fetus. However, when massaging the head of pregnant women, it should be done with a comfortable force and should not be overly stimulated or forced. It is important to avoid massaging acupoints by tapping or pressing to avoid discomfort.

  Pregnant women can choose appropriate massage methods under the guidance of a doctor, and after taking a shower, they can apply a hot towel to the relevant area, which will be more effective. Pregnant women need to pay more attention to massage. Once the wrong position is pressed, it is easy to experience discomfort, and in severe cases, it can even lead to miscarriage, so it needs to be taken seriously.

  If pregnant women feel lower limb fatigue, they can also massage their calves. If they have a headache, they can massage their entire head and temples. If pregnant women feel any discomfort during the massage process, they should stop the massage to avoid harm to themselves.
