What do you actually wear? How do you lie down with a bump? Is the pressure safe at this stage? Can the therapist reach the parts of your body that have been aching since the second trimester? If any of that is running through your head right now, this guide is for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A prenatal massage can do a lot for a body that&#8217;s carrying a significant amount of extra load lower back pain, hip tightness, swollen legs, broken sleep, that particular kind of exhaustion that rest alone doesn&#8217;t quite fix. Knowing what a session actually involves before you go in makes the whole experience more comfortable and more useful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re booking through Blys, the first thing worth knowing is that a therapist comes to you. No driving, no parking, no waiting room. They arrive at your home with everything they need, set up in your living room or bedroom, and when the session is done, you&#8217;re already where you want to be. Here&#8217;s a full walkthrough of how it all works from what to wear to what to do when it&#8217;s over.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #100249;color:#100249\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #100249;color:#100249\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/what-to-expect-pregnancy-massage\/#What_To_Wear_And_What_You_Wont_Need_To_Stress_About\" >What To Wear And What You Won&#8217;t Need To Stress About<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/what-to-expect-pregnancy-massage\/#How_A_Provider_Sets_Up_For_An_At-Home_Prenatal_Massage\" >How A Provider Sets Up For An At-Home Prenatal Massage<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/what-to-expect-pregnancy-massage\/#What_Positions_Are_Used_During_A_Prenatal_Massage\" >What Positions Are Used During A Prenatal Massage?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/what-to-expect-pregnancy-massage\/#What_Does_The_Pressure_Feel_Like_And_Why_Do_Some_Areas_Get_More_Attention\" >What Does The Pressure Feel Like And Why Do Some Areas Get More Attention?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/what-to-expect-pregnancy-massage\/#Why_your_lower_legs_are_handled_with_extra_care\" >Why your lower legs are handled with extra care<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/what-to-expect-pregnancy-massage\/#Why_your_lower_back_gets_regular_check-ins\" >Why your lower back gets regular check-ins<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/what-to-expect-pregnancy-massage\/#Why_hips_and_glutes_usually_get_the_most_focused_time\" >Why hips and glutes usually get the most focused time<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/what-to-expect-pregnancy-massage\/#How_Long_Does_A_Session_Take_And_What_Should_You_Do_After\" >How Long Does A Session Take And What Should You Do After?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/what-to-expect-pregnancy-massage\/#Ready_To_Book_Your_First_Prenatal_Massage\" >Ready To Book Your First Prenatal Massage?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/what-to-expect-pregnancy-massage\/#Your_Wellness_Journey_Starts_Here\" >Your Wellness Journey Starts Here<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_To_Wear_And_What_You_Wont_Need_To_Stress_About\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What To Wear And What You Won&#8217;t Need To Stress About<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comfortable underwear is the norm.

The at-home experience is genuinely different, and worth understanding before your session.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a provider you book through Blys arrives, they bring everything: a professional massage table, fresh linen, pregnancy-appropriate oils, and all the bolsters and pillows needed for safe positioning. Setup takes about ten minutes. You need a clear space a living room or bedroom works perfectly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the session begins, the therapist will ask a few focused intake questions: how far along you are, which areas have been most uncomfortable, and whether your midwife, OB, or GP has flagged anything to be aware of. It&#8217;s brief and practical just the information needed to make the session as useful as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s the at-home insight that no clinic-based article will ever mention: when your prenatal massage is done, you don&#8217;t have to go anywhere. You move from the table to your couch. At 34 weeks, not having to drive yourself home after 90 minutes of quality bodywork is not a small thing it&#8217;s one of the most practical reasons to book at-home during pregnancy, and most people only realise it after their first session.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you book,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/is-pregnancy-massage-safe\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is prenatal massage safe?<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> covers the evidence by trimester and answers the questions most people are quietly wondering about.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Positions_Are_Used_During_A_Prenatal_Massage\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Positions Are Used During A Prenatal Massage?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side-lying is the primary position throughout and it works better than most first-timers expect. You&#8217;ll lie on your left or right side with a bolster or pillow between your knees to keep your hips aligned and reduce strain on the lower back. From this position, the therapist can access your back, hips, glutes, legs, shoulders and neck effectively. You&#8217;ll switch sides partway through.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A semi-reclined position is sometimes used in the second trimester a wedge or table angle allows you to lean back at roughly 45 degrees rather than lying fully flat. This works well for most people and allows the therapist to work the front of the legs and, if you&#8217;d like it, a gentle abdominal section.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you won&#8217;t do: lie face-down. After the first trimester, prone positioning isn&#8217;t part of prenatal massage. Therapists with proper prenatal training work with your body as it currently is they&#8217;re not trying to work around the bump; they&#8217;re working with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_The_Pressure_Feel_Like_And_Why_Do_Some_Areas_Get_More_Attention\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Does The Pressure Feel Like And Why Do Some Areas Get More Attention?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prenatal massage isn&#8217;t a single pressure setting applied to everything equally it shifts throughout based on the area, your trimester, and your feedback. It&#8217;s generally softer than a deep tissue or sports massage, but not passive. Think of it as intentional and adapted, not light for the sake of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_your_lower_legs_are_handled_with_extra_care\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why your lower legs are handled with extra care<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain acupressure points around the ankles and lower calf are avoided during pregnancy because of their potential association with uterine stimulation. This is standard practice for any experienced prenatal therapist you don&#8217;t need to ask about it. The<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/prenatal-massage-guide\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blys prenatal massage guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> explains which areas are avoided and why, if you&#8217;d like the full picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_your_lower_back_gets_regular_check-ins\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why your lower back gets regular check-ins<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderate pressure on the lower back works well for most pregnant women, but it&#8217;s an area the therapist will return to and adjust rather than treating once and leaving. Communicate throughout it makes a real difference to what the session delivers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_hips_and_glutes_usually_get_the_most_focused_time\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why hips and glutes usually get the most focused time<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where the most impactful work tends to happen. Sciatic pain and hip tightness are among the most common pregnancy complaints from the second trimester onward, and targeted, sustained work here typically produces the most noticeable and lasting relief. If the therapist spends a significant amount of time in this area, that&#8217;s precisely why.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research available through PubMed consistently shows that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8396946\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prenatal massage is associated with lower cortisol, improved sleep quality and reduced anxiety<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, particularly in the third trimester.

For a first session, 60 minutes is the right starting point it covers the key areas (back, hips, legs, shoulders, neck) without overdoing it. If you&#8217;re managing something specific like significant sciatic pain or fluid retention, 90 minutes gives the therapist more time to focus on what&#8217;s most useful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>After your session, here&#8217;s what actually helps:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Drink water:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Massage improves circulation and helps move fluid through the body staying hydrated supports that process.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Rest when you can:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Even 20 minutes lying down after the session allows your body to settle into the work.
