Pregnancy is full of exciting moments and lots of physical changes for a mama that often bring discomfort, especially in the third trimester.
But you do not have to live with the pain and discomfort. Prenatal massage is here to help.
Thank you to Lovelace Health System for sponsoring this guide.
Expecting a baby is an exciting and life-changing journey. Lovelace would like to make your experience as memorable and stress-free as possible by helping you navigate your healthcare. No matter your insurance or birthing plan, our Labor of Love program offers you access to no-cost pregnancy perks and assistance finding a provider or insurance.
When it comes time to deliver, you can expect exceptional, comfortable, and convenient care. Throughout labor and delivery at Lovelace Women’s Hospital, new parents stay in one of our private birthing suites. Equipped with the latest technology, each room is designed for a relaxed and comfortable birthing experience.
In the event your baby is born prematurely or needs special care, our state-of-the-art Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is here to serve you. Our on-site NICU offers 24/7 skilled medical and nursing staff who care for infants as young as 23 weeks of gestation in a quiet, home-like environment.
We are excited to be part of your prenatal care and delivery so that your experience is as safe, healthy, and pleasant as possible.

What are the benefits of massage?
Prenatal and postnatal massage can help by relieving some of the aches and pains that come with pregnancy, including back and hip pain, tight muscles, and more. Plus, it’s an hour just to focus on taking care of yourself.
I treated myself to a prenatal massage at least once each pregnancy and always ended up lightly snoring each time. I was so relaxed.
There are prenatal massage guidelines that a massage therapist should abide by to ensure sessions are safe for pregnant patients. Finding trained therapists can be difficult, but we are here to help! We have put together a list of places offering prenatal massage in the Albuquerque area.
