December 24, 2008, 02:53 AMthe caution with massage (and acupuncture) during pregancy is because there are acpuncture points (even on the limbs) that can change the position of the foetus or bring on labour. these points can be used during the later stage of pregnancy if there are difficulties.

A list of Chinese names for the radicals can be found here: page 1, page 2
