Benefits of Prenatal Massage

Massages are historically great for the body and mind, but what you might not know is that massages are exceptionally great for pregnant women. In fact, prenatal massages are highly recommended by both doctors and moms alike! If you're debating on getting a prenatal massage, there are many benefits of a pregnancy massage. Here is what moms-to-be can expect with a prenatal massage!

Of course, there's the question, "well what is a prenatal massage?" A prenatal massage is actually a full body massage where you are positioned for comfortability for both you and your baby. Prenatal massages are often done lying face down while you're pregnant. The second most popular position is side-lying. Why is that? Well, most specialists prefer these positions because it supports the baby bump. Not only does it provide relief to breasts that are tender from pregnancy, but it also provides relief to the pelvic area.

There are many benefits that come with getting a prenatal massage. Pregnancy massages are incredible for reducing swelling and alleviating any back, leg, muscle, or joint pains. From a massage, any tight tissue around the lower bag or legs gets stimulated. From this stimulation, the blood circulates further and alleviates the pain. Not only does it alleviate pain, but it also decreases anxiety, depression, and stress.

Massages, in general, are particularly great for mental health. This is even more so with pregnancy brains. Not only does it regulate your hormones, but it also relaxes the nervous system. The relaxation of the nervous system is what leads to less stress and depression, but it's an added bonus that it also improves overall sleep. What are all of the benefits? Well, prenatal massages are known to:

· Overall Uplift Mood

· Reduce Labor Pain During Birth & Improve Labor Preparedness

· Help with Insomnia

· Reduce Leg, Back, Joint, & Muscle Pain

· Improve Circulation & Reduce Swelling

· Decrease Depression, Anxiety, and Stress

As said above, pregnancy massages greatly improve circulation. This is because massages stimulate the inflamed nerves and tension in the pregnant body. This stimulation helps oxygenate the muscles and joints as well, thus reducing built-up fluid and inflammation. Why is there so much swelling when it comes to pregnancy? Well, your pregnant body holds more water than your body is used to, along with the growing pressure in your womb that is hitting against your nerves. The combination of this increases swelling, especially in the lower part of your body.
