Pregnancy is seen as the most beautiful and exciting time of woman’s life, but sometimes it can bring along many aches and pains. The body is adjusting everyday with physical and emotional changes happening over a short period of time. You might experience various physical pains and aches as your growing belly shifts the centre of balance and muscles in your lower back and glutes (buttocks) have to work harder. Hormonal changes in woman’s body might make you feel stressed or anxious, or even cause nausea or calf cramps. When an expectant mum lives with chronic stress, her baby in utero is also affected by the constant flow of stress hormones circulating in the maternal blood stream. It is important to remember that nurturing yourself during pregnancy means also nurturing your baby at the same time.
If there have been any complications with your pregnancy, I kindly ask discussing with your doctor if massage is safe with your condition prior to your massage appointment. After all, we want the best possible outcome for you and your baby!
