Pregnancy

Prenatal Massage

Prenatal massage refers to specific massage techniques that have been shown to reduce pregnancy discomforts and to enhance the physiological and emotional wellbeing of both mother and foetus.

Pregnancy is a tumultuous period for a womans mind and body. Any woman who has been pregnant can sympathize with the mental and physical fatigue associated with being pregnant. Not only does a woman experience physical changes, she also experiences mental changes as well.

Massage has been known to calm many of the aches and pains associated with pregnancy such as sciatica, swelling, back and neck pain, and stomach upset. Prenatal massage has also been shown to improve physical discomforts by encouraging circulation and by stretching the muscles and joints to their full range of motion to improve skin elasticity and body tone. Studies show that pregnant women who receive regular prenatal massages are more at ease - furthermore relaxing the foetus inside the womb.

Labour Massage

During labour, a massage has been shown to do wonders for the mother-in-waiting. A massage can be given to a woman in labour as she lies on her side, in a reclined position, or on her belly with the use of a pregnancy pillow. Women have often asked for soft music to be played in the background during their labour in order to create a peaceful setting for birth, and to soothe their nerves and pain during labour.

Post-Pregnancy Massage

In the postpartum period, specialized massage techniques can help to rebalance the structure of a womans body by improving skin elasticity and muscle tone. Massage also has a physiological effect on a new mother; it can help ease any postpartum depression and encourage her to bond with her new baby.

Pain Management During Pregnancy:

Just found out you are pregnant? Expecting your first baby?

If you're like most women, the pain of pregnacy, labour and delivery is not something to which you are looking forward to. Though some women do experience little pain during pregnancy and labour, most women experience pregnancy/labour as a painful process. For this reason, it is important to educate yourself about your options for pain management during pregnacy/labour, and to decide which methods will best fit your needs.

Keep in mind, that your best bet is to be well informed and flexible in your options, because you won’t know how much pain you will be in until you actually experience it. The Press Pasue Team now provide Pain management workshops and information to help you during your pregnacy and labour.The Press Pause Team Currently run workshops at various Childrens Centres accross the Berkshire Area.
