Massage During Pregnancy
Massage during pregnancy not only makes a woman feel emotionally supported, but offers
many physical benefits as well. Massage can relieve fatigue, enhance sleep, and calm an
active baby.
During the First Trimester, massage can relieve headaches, help alleviate morning sickness,
and reduce fatigue.
During the Second Trimester, massage can help alleviate backaches and relieve leg cramps.
During the Third Trimester, massage can help reduce swelling/edema, relieve pain from
varicosities, and enhance sleep
During the entire term of the pregnancy, massage can stimulate blood flow, which may assist
in the prevention of anemia. An increase in muscle tone and flexibility will occur, alleviating leg
cramps and muscle spasms.
Massage during pregnancy is also a great way to relieve everyday tension and the general
aches and pains your body is suffering. It stimulates your lymphatic system, increasing
immunity.
Massage After the Birth of Your Baby
Massage during the weeks after delivery helps to restore muscle tone in the abdomen and
reposition the pelvis. And remember, touch is a very important part of bonding with your baby.
Ask about receiving instruction in massaging your baby.
