Steam Therapy:
Steaming is contraindicated during pregnancy. If pregnant or not sure whether pregnant, please do not steam.
If you didn’t know you were pregnant and did a steam session only later to find out that you were pregnant later, it is okay. The baby was not harmed by steaming. This happens by mistake sometimes and, so far, there are no signs of any harm to the baby or pregnancy as a result.
Though steaming should not be done during pregnancy, it is instrumental for labor preparation and postpartum. Pregnancy is a great time to make a steam sauna or modified chair that can be used in-home.
STEAM THERAPIST RECOMMENDATION
Find a steam therapist who is trained in both labor prep steaming and postpartum steaming. Plan to have your first appointment at 36 weeks.
