The Best Spas for Mums-to-Be in London

It’s best to try treatments specifically designed for pregnant women, and to make sure that your therapist is fully conversant with any potential pitfalls. The most obvious thing is to make sure that the oils used are compatible with pregnancy, and to ensure that you are in a comfortable position – some spas offer special massage couches with a cut-out section to accommodate your belly; others will prop you on gloriously comfortable cushions. You should not be asked to lie on your back unless you feel comfortable to do so.   

Arguably London's most famous day spa The Sanctuary lives up to its name. Hidden within the heart of Covent Garden the welcoming women only day spa is the perfect place for a little me time before the big day. Their Mum to Be massage uses their own pregnancy product range and pampers you from head to toe with lighter pressure in sensitive areas.
