Benefits of Massage During Pregnancy
- During pregnancy a woman's body undergoes many changes, some of them stressful and uncomfortable. Massage is a perfect way to reduce stress and promote general well-being.
- Massage helps mom's body to eliminate waste products through the lymphatic and circulatory systems, which combats fatigue and helps the mother feel more energetic, while boosting her immune system.
- Muscular discomforts, such as cramping, stiffness, tension, and knots, can be alleviated.
- Massage helps carry away the lactic acid and other cellular waste products that build up and cause muscle fatigue.
- Massage can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes mom is experiencing.
- Massage stimulates glandular secretions, which helps stabilize hormone levels.
- Massage can help relieve edema and swollen ankles.
- Massage increases local and general blood circulation, which brings more oxygen and nutrients to the cells of both the mother and fetus. This means greater vitality and less fatigue for mom and better nourishment for her baby.
- By aiding circulation, massage eases the load on mom's heart and helps to keep her blood pressure in check.
- Massage releases large amounts of endorphins into the bloodstream that cross the placenta allowing baby to feel the same relaxation as mom.
- Massage helps to soothe and relax nervous tension, which helps the mother sleep more easily and more deeply. A relaxed mother will have a happier, healthier pregnancy and possibly an easier childbirth experience, too.
- Massage can be used during the birth to make it easier and more comfortable for mom, and after the birth as well, to help her regain her strength more quickly and ease postpartum stress.
