Pregnancy and Prenatal Massage
In my childbirth education video my back up doula and certified prenatal massage therapist Cara Sanders talks about the benefits of massage while you are pregnant. I include this therapy along with others for you to be informed of as many resources that you can benefit from while pregnant. Prenatal massage not only can decrease normal pregnancy discomforts, it will enhance your pregnancy experience.
- reduces swelling
- reduces back and joint pain
- improves your circulation
- helps you sleep better
- decreases stress
Cara and other massage therapists note woman who have regular prenatal massage have a better labor experience .
Be sure to have a massage therapist specially trained in prenatal massage. If you have any concerns if massage is safe for your pregnancy it is always OK to ask your doctor or midwife.
So go ahead book a massage..you deserve it!
in joy
