Massage during pregnancy differs from a regular massage in a couple of ways. The biggest way it differs is that the person receiving the massage is pregnant, and therefore knowledge of pregnancy and the anatomy of a pregnant woman are very important. This means that positioning during a massage is critical to the safety and well-being of both the mother and the baby she is carrying. There are also parts of the body that should not be massaged.
The Benefits of Pregnancy Massage:
- Tranquil relaxation and reduce stress
- Relief from muscle cramps, spasms, and myofascial pain, especially in the lower back, neck, hips, and legs
- Increase in blood and lymph circulation, which can reduce swelling
- Reduces stress on weight-bearing joints
- Improves outcome of labor and eases labor pain
- Enhances the pliability of skin and underlying tissues
- Provides support for the new mother with physical and emotional strains of mothering
Also postpartum massage is designed to help restore the body to its pre-pregnant condition. It also addresses the stress of carrying and caring for a newborn. It can speed the recovery by bringing relief of sore muscles and help the mother to relax more easily. Abdominal massage helps shrink the uterus and relieve subcutaneous scar tissue. It may be given as early as 24 hours after delivery in a vaginal delivery but only with written permission from your doctor or midwife.
Pregnancy Massage is not recommended:
- If you're experiencing nausea, vomiting, or morning sickness
- You are in your first trimester
- You're at high risk of miscarriage
