Massage has great benefits for the pregnant woman.
With extensive body changes and extra tension in the muscular skeletal sytem, caused by hormones and a shift in your centre of gravity, having a massage can be a real life saver.

 

 

Pregnancy massage can be done in different ways.

Pregnant women may lie on their sides to be massaged, and they can actually lie on their bellies, since a specifically designed pillow has made it possible for expectant moms to lie flat on their stomachs and feel relaxed and comfortable.

 

After the first 22 weeks of pregnancy, lying flat on your back could cause pressure on deep blood vessels, due to the growing baby, thereby reducing circulation to you and your baby.
To avoid this problem, pillows can be used to ensure that you are lying in a comfortable side-lying position.

Body pillows are especially effective for the side-lying position.

 

Massage during pregnancy can reduce peripheral swelling, help
to prevent insomnia, reduce muscle cramps and back pain, and
soothe the nervous system.

 

Regular massages during pregnancy can also shorten labour time and make the return of your optimal fitness easier.

During labour, massage is an effective pain relief tool. Ask about
how your partner can massage you during labour, and what other beneficial natural techniques you can use to have a rewarding birth experience...
