What position do I lie in for a pregnancy massage?
Let's be honest getting a massage during pregnancy can be difficult for both the patient and the therapist.  There have been special tables designed for pregnancy massage as well as cushion systems, and add on fittings.  Basically they all have a whopping great hole where you belly fits and you lie face down during the massage.  Good for the therapist, but what about you.

Pregnancy massage (or prenatal massage) is a system of bodywork designed specifically for expecting mothers. The obvious benefit is relaxation but it also reputed to help with hormonal changes as well as the muscular soreness associated with the changes your body is going through. Postnatal massage is a therapy given to the mother during the period after childbirth. This is a restorative system to help the mother recover from the physical hardship of pregnancy.

Pregnancy massage focuses on giving the expecting mother some much needed attention to help nurture the new life that is growing within her.  Massage by a pregnancy massage therapist offers many benefits including alleviation of pain, reduction in stress hormones, and can relieve muscle spasms and cramps associated with the stress of extra weight bearing and physical changes that occur during pregnancy.

Postpartum massage (after the baby has been born) focuses on helping to restore the woman's body to its pre-pregnancy condition. Massage therapy can help to restore the abdominal muscle wall and the uterus to its normal state.   Postpartum massage also helps to realign the body weight to its original state, while toning the over-stretched areas of skin over the belly.
