Can You Get Pedicures While Pregnant?
I know most people do, but I have a friend who is a massage therapists and said they learned in school pregnant women should not have their feet massaged as there are pressure points than can cause serious things like early on in pregnancy miscarriage and in the later stages cause preterm labor or the baby to turn.
Anyone heard of this? And or Do you Get pedicures while pregnant?
THANKS!!!
Interestingly, they are right, BUT the certain pressure point they speak of is somewhere around the ankle. Just let the pedicurist know not to massage the ankles.
The spot, if stimulated, can cause contractions. (It is a very small point, so you really have nothing to worry about, and it is a small chance anyway! ) The other pressure point you need to worry about is the spot just above the web between thumb and pointer finger. Massaging this spot can also cause contractions. During pregnancy this spot is sore, like a writers cramp.
