What are the benefits of massage for pregnant women?

Pregnant women can really benefit from prenatal massage therapy.

Pregnant women can have hot stone massages in limited areas. They don't want an overall hot rock massage, because you could heat up the body temperature. Most massages are catered for the pregnant woman; but I think prenatal massage is the safest way to go. It helps a lot with relaxation. They can sleep better, because the body gets really achy in different areas when you are pregnant, so massage can help work out different areas that have gotten tight and sore. It helps with swelling in the hands and feet. The pregnant woman's body needs to be cared for; massage helps them feel pampered.
