The Benefits of Massage during pregnancy
Regular massage during a pregnancy can benefit Mothers, as well as their unborn baby, and supports the Mother emotionally and physiologically - and the endorphins it brings to the Mother are passed to baby as well. It can help childbirth to be easier, as well as having benefits for postpartum recovery.

Some of the benefits of regular massage during pregnancy are:
ā
1. Stimulation of the blood circulation: bringing nutrients and fluids to the organs of the body, and to the baby.
2. Lymphatic drainage: detoxification, eliminating toxins and waste, and reducing oedema (swelling).
3. Promoting healthy digestion;
4. Releasing muscular tension and compression,
5. Helping avoid varicose veins;
6. Inducing deep relaxation and reducing emotional stress;
7. Helping maintain a healthy, balanced blood pressure.

Massage also encourages the release of oxytocin, which is a pain reducing hormone - providing pain relief during labour and childbirth.
