Pregnancy Massage Pregnancy brings about many changes to a woman’s body, not only physically but mentally and psychologically.
Pregnancy massage stimulates different glands in the body, which helps to stabilize hormone levels, and relieve nervous tension throughout the body.
Massage oils may help with possible stretching of the skin. Doctors agree that a relaxed mother will be more likely to have a happier and healthier pregnancy, and perhaps an easier delivery.
Massage assists with circulatory and with the lymphatic systems, thus keeping the blood flowing to both the mother and the baby, and reducing fatigue.
Massage can be beneficial in the following ways:
· Tranquil relaxation reduces pain and stress
· Relaxed mommy promotes foetal wellbeing
· Helps reduce feeling of nausea
· Minimises stretch marks by enhancing the pliability of the skin and underlying tissues.
· Combats fluid retention (oedema)
· Alleviates stress and strain on joints and muscles as a result of carrying the extra weight.

Much love x 2.5
Nearing my 3rd trimester (currently 26 weeks) and starting to feel like a house. My BF massages my feet but I am sure it is nothing like a good proper full body massage!
