3 Reasons Why Pregnant Women Should Go For A Massage

September 1, 2012 Cori Leave a Comment

One may think of a massage as a luxury that people love to indulge in on certain occasions. However, during pregnancy, a massage is definitely the most beneficial treatments that a woman can receive. Great care is always the priority when an expectant woman is receiving a massage, because women in this stage are very sensitive.

The best time to perform a pregnancy massage is when she is at least three months into the pregnancy. This is because when a woman goes for a massage very early in the pregnancy, it is likely to affect her and the baby negatively, and the risk of losing the child at this stage is too great.

When a pregnant woman receives a good massage, she is sure to leave all the stress, and anxiety in that room, leaving no chance for depression, pain and joints or muscle cramps. When a pregnant woman makes it a habit of receiving proper massages throughout her pregnancy, then she will experience a much easier delivery, and this will eventually lead to a healthier newborn. The most recommended position for the woman to receive the massage is when she is laying on her side, since laying on either her back or on her belly will cause great discomfort for her and the baby.

A pregnancy massage relaxes muscle tension and improves blood circulation due to the mild pressure that is applied to the body. However, too much pressure is not recommended especially on the abdomen, light pressure should be exerted to relax the abdominal muscles slightly. Here are more details why women really need a pregnancy massage:

1.    Nerve pain improvement

When it comes to the reduction of pain in the nerves, the main nerve in question here is the sciatic nerve. A woman who goes for regular massages, experiences great relief, since this helps to release the tension on inflamed muscles and those muscles that are nearby.

2.    To regulate their hormones

When a woman relaxes, she automatically alters her hormone levels. A woman’s mood will greatly improve if her mind and body are relaxed. This relaxation will also lead to better cardiovascular health.

3.    Edema reduction

Edema is a term referring to the swelling of a woman’s joints often during her pregnancy period; this is often due to the reduced blood circulation and the heightened pressure on key blood vessels because of the heavy womb. To reduce fluid accumulation in joints that are swollen, a massage will work towards stimulating the soft tissues.

A pregnant woman can benefit from a massage in many other ways, and since this makes her situation to be even more bearable, then there is no reason why she should not get a massage on a regular basis!
