Pregnancy can be an exhausting affair. Some days, you feel like a log and just can’t get up. Even when you do make it out of bed, you can feel your back hurting, your legs feeling like soaked sponges and your head throbbing. What’s more, for many, not getting out of bed is simply not an option on any day!
What’s worse: the frustrating breakouts!
Carrying a foetus is hard. With a baby wiggling in your belly, it’s hard to ignore eruptive pain signals all over your body. You need a break; a pregnancy spa treatment of some sort to take away that aching back, swollen ankles and itching belly.
What better way to relax body muscles than a trip to the spa? Surely you’ve heard of prenatal spa treatments. There is currently a lot of rave about it. Why? Because they work. Here are some prenatal packages that you should consider.
Top Pre-Natal Packages at the Spa
Pregnancy spa packages come in different forms, depending on how far your pregnancy has progressed. Some say that as a general rule of thumb, however, your second trimester is the best time to enjoy some pregnancy pampering at the spa. That being said, here is a list of prenatal spa treatments to opt for:
- Prenatal Massage: Most prenatal spa packages come with a pregnancy massage. This is a soothing body massage performed by qualified massage therapists to address lower back ache, swollen ankles, and stretchmarks. This package could include everything from a foot, ankles, shoulder, and back massage down to a scalp massage.
- Pregnancy Facials: What’s with those breakouts, eh? Pregnancy comes with breakouts and redness that are associated with increased oil production in the body. Often combined with a massage, pregnancy facials include gentle exfoliation and extraction to reduce and relieve breakouts.
- Body Masks: Pregnant women often wake up to dry and itchy skin. Opting for a body mask treatment can help exfoliate dark and flaky skin, therefore many claim reducing the appearance of stretch marks.
- Hydrotherapy: Water can be an excellent spa relaxation. Water has been used for centuries in various forms of therapy and for good reason! Warm water soothes away tension like no other spa therapy can claim. It’s common to be told to soak in a hot bath to relieve one’s muscles and relax. However, there are many forms of hydrotherapy you can find at legitimate day spas.
