Benefits for mother and baby:
Studies show that women who receive regular massages have fewer complications during their pregnancy and labour. Their babies are more settled and content, suffering fewer baby ailments. Although pregnancy is a wonderful time, many changes take place in the mother’s body which can put strain and pressure on the joints, ligaments and organs causing pain and discomfort. Regular pregnancy massages can help relieve these aches and pains. Research also shows that the baby can greatly benefit from massage as endorphins (feel good hormones) are released by the mother during the massage which are passed to the baby.
