Pregnancy is a magical time for every woman, but that doesn’t mean that the body does not experience discomfort due to changes in the body, particularly as the baby grows.
Why book a pregnancy massage?
Not only joints but also ligaments and major organs can be affected. For this reason, pregnancy massage is recommended.
Not only does it relieve pain but stress levels are also reduced, giving a soothing and calming effect. Not only the mum but also the baby can enjoy the pregnancy massage; endorphins pass from the mother to the baby, inducing a feeling of relaxation. As you get used to this feeling, it can help with relaxation during the labour, making the birth smoother and less painful.
After you have had your 12-week scan, you can book a pregnancy massage, up until your baby’s arrival date.
What to expect from your pregnancy massage?
Pregnancy massage comes with a whole host of benefits, including:
In addition, you should find that the pregnancy massage helps with relaxation, aiding restful sleep. Stress and anxiety are reduced and blood pressure is balanced. Oxytocin is released into the body, which is a fantastic pain reliever and essential just before the birth. You may want to pre-book a little before your due date to ensure that your body and mind are well relaxed in time for the big day.
Your therapist may ask you to lie on your side and will use soothing and gentle scented oils during the massage. The techniques used ensure the safety of both mother and child. If you are suffering from morning sickness, let the therapist know and she may be able to focus on specific acupressure points.
