Prenatal Massage
The physical, mental and emotional challenges that a woman goes through during pregnancy can be agonizing. While carrying your precious little one in your womb for nine months, your body deserves the most nourishment, love and care.
Prenatal massage not only helps to relieve the physical tension on your body but is also extremely beneficial to your mental and emotional health. At Bao Ma, our goal is to help mummies minimize stress, stimulate relaxation, and prep the muscles for childbirth.
Let us help you make your pregnancy journey an enjoyable and memorable one.
Benefits of Prenatal Massage
Reduce
Swelling
Soft tissues are stimulated to reduce collection of fluids in swollen joints and improve the removal of tissue waste carried by the body’s lymph system.
Relieves Leg Cramps and
Back Pain
The weight gained during pregnancy can contribute to frequent leg cramps and back pain. A massage can ease muscle tension and increase blood circulation.
Improve
Quality of Sleep
Supports the release of serotonin in the body, which promotes deeper sleep. Having a good quality sleep can also strengthen the immune system.
Preps Body for
Labor and Birth
Relaxes muscles and increases inflexibility which will make it easier for the birth canal to open up to accommodate the baby’s movements.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is it safe for me to start Prenatal Massage?
The advisable period is after the first trimester of pregnancy, i.e. week 16 as your body enters a more stable stage in the second trimester. Prenatal massage is also highly recommended in the third trimester (up till 2 weeks before EDD), as mothers experience discomfort the most during this period.
How often can I have Prenatal Massage?
Monthly or weekly sessions are generally recommended. With the exception of severe discomfort during pregnancy, in which case regular sessions would be beneficial to relieve the pain. Please seek your doctor’s advice before engaging in regular prenatal massages.
What do I need to prepare for home service?
We do provide home service on request with minimum 90min session and additional transport fee of $48/session. To prepare for home service, you need:
- Mattress – prenatal massages work best on firm surfaces, hence a soft but firm mattress is preferred over the bed. Our therapist will provide a bedsheet protector for the mattress.
- Large and small towels – to be used as a cover sheet and blanket.
- Private room – a discreet and private area in the house is preferred for undressing and to carry out the massage in a relaxing atmosphere.
What if I delivered my baby before finishing the package?

Postnatal Massage
Childbirth changes a woman’s body drastically, and many new mummies may find it difficult to adjust their new bodies and recover from postpartum delivery. This is why a good postnatal massage is important for women to recover smoothly and regain their pre-pregnancy body, especially for women who have had cesarean birth or experienced health problems post-delivery.
A postnatal massage will typically involve massaging the legs, tummy, breasts, back, shoulders and neck by our highly trained therapists.
Let us help you recover from child delivery smoothly & get back the confidence pre-pregnancy.
Benefits of Postnatal Massage
Reduce
Water Retention
Swelling of feet and arms due to water retention are common ailments during pregnancy, and postnatal massage helps the body drain these excess fluids easier.
Aid Womb
Recovery
Womb massage helps realign the womb to its original position to avoid uterine prolapse, and assist the womb to contract back to its original size.
Regain
Pre-Pregnancy Body
Postnatal massage uses traditional massage techniques and cloth wraps that slims the waist and helps to improve posture.
Stimulate Milk Production
Postpartum massages helps new mummies breastfeed more easily by stimulating the flow of milk and relieving pain from engorged breasts.
Eliminate
Discharge
By improving blood circulation, the body is able to remove blood, lochia and other discharges naturally after delivery.
Relieves
Body Aches
Postnatal massage helps to ease tense muscles, relieve pregnancy back ache and promote better sleep for new mummies.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is it safe for me to start Postnatal Massage?
For natural birth, postnatal massage can be done after discharge from the hospital, which is usually one week after childbirth.
For cesarean birth, it is recommended to wait up till one month for the surgical wound to heal. It is best to seek your doctor’s approval before starting the message as the recovery rate varies for each person.
How often can I have Postnatal Massage?
There are no fixed standards on how often you should get a postnatal massage, but generally most women have massages weekly within the first one or two months after childbirth.
When should I not have Postnatal Massage?
Postnatal massage is generally safe but precaution should be taken if you have the following conditions:
1. Complicated birth (eg cesarean birth) – It is advisable to seek doctor’s opinion if you have had cesarean birth or complications post-delivery to avoid aggravating the wound healing.
2. Eczema, rashes and medical allergies– It is best to inform the therapist beforehand if you have sensitive skin or allergies to a particular cream or essential oils to ensure you have the best massage experience.
3. High blood pressure and hernia – Massage affects the blood vessels, hence people with high blood pressure or hernia should proceed with caution and only receive light massages.
