You Might Ask Yourself - What Is A Pregnancy
Massage?


Are you pregnant right now? First up – CONGRATULATIONS!


In case you are currently expecting a baby you may think of
massage as a luxury that would be great to have to relieve some
of the discomfort and tension you are feeling at this time, and
to help you switch off and rest just a little, at least for an
hour or so!


But – at the same time you might be very worried whether it is
good for you, and even more importantly, you may be asking
yourself - is it safe for the baby?


You will be very pleased to discover it may be one of the most
beneficial times for both of you during your pregnancy.


Any therapeutic massage during or after pregnancy (prenatal or
postnatal massage) is considered a Pregnancy Massage.


A good pregnancy therapeutic massage typically lasts an hour to
90 minutes.


Any shorter time periods will not really provide you with the
complete benefit of the massage, simply because it will take you
quite a while to completely unwind, and more importantly – for
your body to begin producing and releasing those fantastic happy
and stress release hormones you are so desperately after.

so whatever can help you and avoids any discomfort is definitely
provided.


Typically, my ladies lay on their side, because this may help
especially throughout the later stages of pregnancy. In fact, you
will find that lying on your side is often the most comfortable
position.
