Pregnancy Massage

It’s important to take some time out to pamper yourself while you’re pregnant, and having a massage is a great way to indulge while still taking care of your mind and body.

 

I recommend you wait until you are more than 12 weeks, (1st trimester), to enjoy a massage. If you’ve had any complications, it’s best to make sure you ask your midwife/health provider before you book your massage.

 

Massage during pregnancy focuses on the special needs of the mum-to-be. It can really help your body to function at its optimum level and alleviate many associated discomforts.

 

The deep relaxation that massage creates decreases stress levels thus regulating the negative effects that stress hormones may have on you and your body. It gives you some well-earned pampering and time to tune into your changing body. It helps you to be more aware of any tension you may have and is therefore a useful preparation for labour.
