According to the Grupo Mayan experts, when you are pregnant you feel like you need a spa and you want to enjoy yourself with this relaxing effect that the spa delivers. Also, people would like to spoil you by buying spa treatment packages.
You only need to take care that these treatments and technique would not affect your pregnancy in an adverse way.

The first thing you need to do, say the Grupo Mayan experts, is to make sure that your therapist is aware of your pregnancy. Do not depend of the forms that you fill before the session, make sure that you speak to your therapist and tell him about your pregnancy so he or she could tune up the session.

Try to choose a spa and a therapist with a good feedback, recommend the Grupo Mayan experts. Even though you need to keep some points in mind when you get a spa treatment during pregnancy.

Here are some useful tips recommended by the Grupo Mayan experts about what to do and what to avoid doing when you are pregnant and going to a spa.

• Keep yourself and your baby safe and avoid any body treatments in the first trimester of your pregnancy
• After the first trimester, grab any chance for a body massage, as after a while you won’t be able to do this easily.
• When you are choosing products for your spa do choose the organic ones, recommend the Grupo Mayan experts, and avoid those containing chemicals.
• Grab the chance and get yourself foot massage, as with pregnancy you won’t be able to bend and reach out for your toes. Foot massage would be perfect for your feet during that period to reduce swollenness and improve the circulation, say the Grupo Mayan experts.
• Get yourself a nice facial massage while you are pregnant as this gives a very nice effect to your whole body. Ask your therapist to get you an electric blanket to enjoy this warm feeling while having the facial massage. Do not worry about the heat emitted from the blanket as it won’t affect your baby.
• If your spa includes a swimming pool then do not miss it, it is the perfect exercise during pregnancy.
• Don’t get any type of body or facial massage while in the first three months of your pregnancy especially those containing chamomile, clay sage and cedar wood.
• Don’t exercise like if you are not pregnant. Just take it up to moderate intensity then stop, recommend the Grupo Mayan experts. Also, you need to stop immediately if you feel unwell.
• Do not use the excessive heat treatment like saunas, Jacuzzi or Hammam as they may affect your blood circulation at that sensitive period. Keep up with the normal warm baths.
