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.

This competition closes on the 26 April 2010 and is only open to Gauteng residents unfortunately.

My son was sick recently and a friend suggested I try Hot Toddy “kids sore throat lollies” which I did.

These lollies contain all natural ingredients including echinacea, zinc and vitamin C but the winner is that they are in  sucker so it makes it easy to get kids to take them.

They also did help ease Cameron’s sore throat and I took a few when I wasn’t feeling so hot and the did definitely help me too

So if you child has a sore throat then I definitely recommend this product.

Please double check with your Dr or Pharmacist if your child is old enough to take them!

The first 6 weeks after your baby is born is probably the hardest time. You will feel overwhelmed and often a little scared but the good news is it gets easier

Remember these tips and you will be just fine!

• Accept help. If your mother/friends offer to watch baby while you bath/have a nap – accept it.
• Sleep when baby sleeps. I never managed to get this right with my first child but with the second one as soon as she shut her eyes I would nap with her.
• Don’t stress about the small things – like changing or cleaning orwashing. When you can do it, do it.
• Your newborn will not break nor will she come to any harm if she cries.
• Get out of the house! Meet a friend for coffee. Go walk around PnP. Just make sure you get out of the house for a bit.
• If you don’t want visitors simply say no. As nice as it is to have people come and visit sometimes it is too much.
• Get help. Even if you get a domestic working in once a week you need help. Someone just to do the ironing/cleaning etc.
• Switch off your phone/computer. Unnecessary phone calls just create additional stress.
• Be flexible. Your baby may not have been listening the day you announced she will sleep 6 hours in her own room or will breastfeed exclusively for 6 months. So be open to change the plan a little.
• Make sure you eat and drink enough. It’s easy to forget to do this in those early days and it is then that you need it the most.
• Let your partner help. Even if you feel he is doing it wrong – leave him. He has to learn. Go sit and watch some TV and leave the two of them to figure it out.

The most important thing to remember is to enjoy your baby
