Prenatal Massage Intake Forms?

[Bubblerawk]

Ok, chalk it up to "preggy-brain". I don't care WHAT anybody says, pregnancy DOES affect brain function!

Anyway, I want to re-do my prenatal massage intake forms, and I sat down finally to do that, and my mind went totally blank! I am starting with my new PN client on Friday, and had WANTED to update my form prior to then, but I think I'm going to give up on that and just take a notebook and write down anything she says that's not on the intake form already. My PN intake is more general than I want it to be; I have information about pregnancy/pn massage on there to be read, but not as specific on the "possible conditions/contraindications" as I'd like.

Can anyone help me here? Does anyone have a separate intake form for pregnant clients, and if so, how does it differ from your regular ones?

I have blank lines on the back of my regular intake forms for instances where someone might have a condition that's out of the norm or if a client is pregnant. With a PN client I have her note how far along she is on the initial visit, areas she has frequent edema, complaints she has now that she didn't have pre-pregnancy, and anything else she might feel is note-worthy.

Not horribly in-depth, and I could probably benefit more with actually having specific questions on the form, but I don't do many PN massages aside for relaxation. A dear friend of mine specializes in PN massage to whom I refer my clients.

Our prenatal form is in addition to the regular health intake. The client fills out a new pregnancy form EVERY TIME they return during their pregnancy. On it, they state how far along they are and check off any issues/conditions that may apply (Diabetes, Circulatory issues, temperature sensitivity, pre-eclampsia, high-risk pregnancy, etc.). The form also reminds them of some of our policies regarding pregnancy massage, such as limiting the duration of pregnancy massages, using appropriate positioning (safety before comfort, as necessary), etc.

It's fairly short and simple, and we file it with the session's SOAP note. It is just one more way that we educate our clients, show them we care and are serious about taking good care of them, and enable them to easily update us on any serious changes that may affect how we conduct a pregnancy massage session (or cancel it, if applicable).

That is a great idea as there are so many changes happening in the body.

Love it. Something I would have never thought of and yet so simple!
