Being a mum-to-be is an incredibly exciting time, but as your baby grows, the impact of this will be felt on your body and there’s a good chance you’ll experience an array of different aches and pains as your pregnancy progresses.
Alongside the pregnancy aches, growing a child is hard work and incredibly tiring, so you deserve a spot of pampering to help you relax, take away some of the worry that you may have about what’s to come and also relieve some of those aches that are hitting you hard.
One of the best ways to achieve this is through a pregnancy massage. A massage from a fully trained specialist can help in all manner of different ways, so here’s just a few of the benefits:
Relieve Heartburn
A common ailment during the latter stages of pregnancy, heartburn is common as the digestive system becomes sluggish as your baby takes on more and more nutrients. If you are particularly stressed or worried, your heartburn could become worse and more frequent, so a pregnancy massage can help reduce some of the tension and anxiety you’re experiencing, and in turn reduce the effects of the heartburn.
Increasing your Iron in-take
Your body is taking a big hit during pregnancy and, because of this, iron deficiency is common. This is a condition which sees reduced haemoglobin in the blood, however a massage boosts circulation, relieves tiredness and as a result helps to raise the red blood count and the production of more haemoglobin.
Target Sciatica
As your baby grows and gets bigger, more pressure is put on your sciatic nerve, leading to some expectant mums experiencing pain down the back of the thigh, lower part of the leg and soles of the feet. If you’re experiencing this, a massage around these areas can help to bring you some relief by gently releasing some of the pressure on the nerve.
Soothe the Skin
As your bump grows day by day, increased pressure is put on your skin as it stretches to accommodate your little one. This can cause your skin to tighten and lead on to stretch marks. A massage with a quality nourishing oil can help to soothe and moisturise your skin.
Ease Backache
As you accommodate your growing bump, your posture will of course change, which can lead on to you experiencing pain in the lower and upper areas of your back. By loosening tight muscles, a pregnancy massage can offer some much needed relief from this pain and ease tension at the same time.
Help Headaches and Migraines
Lots of pregnant women experience more headaches and migraines, often caused by your hormones, stress levels and tension around the neck, head and shoulders areas because of your posture. Helping you to relax, regular massages can relieve some of the tension, improve blood circulation and lessen the impact and frequency of your headaches and migraines.
When you’re pregnant, there’s arguably nothing more relaxing than a massage, so find out more about our ‘Get Blooming’ pregnancy massage here, and make an appointment to enjoy all of these benefits first-hand.
