Receiving a massage can be good for your baby. Massage is related to a reduced likelihood of premature birth or reduced birth weight. The study suggests that massage therapy decreases anxiety and depression in the expecting parent, both of which make it more probable for an infant to be born small or early.
Taking excellent care of yourself by receiving massages may also help your baby be born with lower stress amounts. Infants born to parents with depression tend to have greater quantities of cortisol in their systems. So, if massages help you handle your anxiety, they may even serve to help the baby feel their best from birth.
To keep your child safe throughout a massage, your prenatal massage therapist needs to refrain from deep tissue therapy on any parts of your body that could push on the baby or the placenta.
Lying flat on your back must be avoided, particularly in the third trimester. This might put pressure on the vena cava, an artery that sends blood to your fetus. The massage tables at Body Ache Escape tilt so you can be on your back without lying flat which is why it is the perfect massage spa for pregnancy! We will have you lay on your side supported by pillows to massage your back.
