Prenatal massage is not supposed to be painful at all. But then again everyone got different pain tolerance.
I did prenatal massage twice, the masseuse told me that they are not supposed to use strength when you are pregnant if not will trigger contractions. End up it felt like I’m just paying someone to rub oil on my body, but It was relaxing.
The second time I tried, the masseuse was a different woman but under same company. She’s got more strength than the first one. But she didn’t use 100% strength. It felt shiok for me but my body was sore for about 3 days after that lol.
It’s normal to feel sore if you don’t frequently do massages.
