What is pregnancy massage?
Pregnancy is a special experience, but there is likely to be some discomfort as your body adjusts to your growing uterus. Your posture changes to accommodate your ever growing abdomen and it is common to experience discomfort or pain in your lower back and your breathing can be more shallow and difficult. Due to the increase in hormones you may experience mood swings and nausea which are both aggravated by stress. You may feel fatigued and have restless nights as well as being annoyed by headaches, sinus pain and discomfort in your legs and feet from fluid retention and frequent leg cramps.
