Hello Doc,
My wife has completed 1st Trimester & is in 4th Month. She has started to feel leg & foot pains/cramps mostly from evening till early morning.
Causing a lot of discomfort to her.
She keeps pillows under her feet at night & also taking
calcium/
vitamin supplements. She walks 2-3k steps daily. No history of DVT or
Diabetes or hypertension.
She wanted to have regular foot & leg Massage to get relief.
My questions -
1) Is it fine to get professional leg massage regularly in pregnancy? As masseurs hands are rough & they do massage strongly.
2) Have read there are accupressure points on foot & legs that are needed to be avoided to avoid pains & contractions. So is it advisable to get the massage done?
3) If yes then how regularly can the massage be done? Everyday or once-twice in a week?
4) Anything else to be taken care of.
Thank you & looking forward to your responses.
