Preparing your body for that special child! Massage during pregnancy is therapeutic bodywork which focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of the childbirth experience.

Pregnancy is a time to be pampered. Being pregnant demands a lot of physical effort. At this time the woman's body systems are working twice as hard to sustain another being. At the time of pregnancy, the extra and uneven distribution of weight keeps shifting your center of gravity, creating aches and pains in different parts of your body (specifically the lower back, neck and shoulders, leg and feet). The prenatal massage can help reduce these difficulties as well as comfort and affirm you during this significant life transition.

Massage acts as an overall tonic just when there are no specific aches or pains. The advantage of this treatment is that it helps you become aware of your body and changes it's going through and this way better help you prepare for the labor. Once the nervous system is sedated, massage helps the release of endorphins, leading to a state of relaxation, which affects your baby in the uterus. If you focus on your body a positive way, it makes you realize that you're not the "fat and ugly" person otherwise you would think.

By increasing both blood and lymph circulation, it brings more nutrition to all parts of your body, including the placenta, and helps in the removal of waste products. If for some reason your pregnancy limits your ability to move around, massage can be an alternative to stimulate circulation, muscles stretching, and helping to keep your joints flexible.

In other parts of the world, post-pregnancy massage is a must. Massage after the child labor can help reduce the fatigue and tension produce by the delivery of the child. Muscles strengthen and prevents weakness due to inactivity, specially if the mother was confined during the pregnancy. Another reason why massage is important after birth is that it nurtures the mother who may feel the challenge of caring for her baby.

Postpartum Massage Can Help Speed Emotional Healing

It is not at all unusual for most new mothers to experience mood disorders after the birth of their child. The dramatic shift in hormones, the labor and birth, and general fatigue all contribute to fleeting feelings of sadness. As many as two-thirds of new mothers worldwide experience postpartum blues, also known as "baby blues." The onset generally occurs at about day three and the duration of these transient feelings of sadness is about a week or two. The blues are characterized by weeping, insomnia, fatigue, moodiness, and anxiety but is self-limiting. With some rest, support, sunshine, and compassion, these feelings recede without lasting effects. Since the blues are short-lived, a nurturing massage can be profoundly relaxing and help speed up the emotional healing.

Severe emotional symptoms after giving birth such as feelings of guilt, hopelessness, helplessness, social withdrawal or suicidal thoughts may be an indicator of postpartum depression and you should talk to your doctor immediately.
