If there is an expectant mother in your life there is one perfect give you can give her this holiday season: relaxation. Specifically, relaxation in the form of a massage. Everyone likes a nice, relaxing massage, and no one deserves one more than an expectant mother.
Mommies-to-be spend nine long months growing a new life inside them, and they have to deal with all of the unpleasantness that comes along with it. Morning sickness, nausea, heartburn, swollen feet, lower back pain, stretch marks, pregnancy brain, etc. Pregnancy takes quite a toll on the mind and the body, with little time for Mom to relax.
Not only that, but that baby is going to be arriving before you know it, and from there on out, Mommy’s time is no longer her own. There’s no more time for relaxing or pampering when you’re taking care of a little one. So why not take this opportunity now to get some much-needed relaxation?
The idea of pregnancy and massage makes some people nervous. Many expectant mothers are worried that their baby will be harmed from the pregnant belly being squashed against a table or hanging freely. The truth is, there are actually special pregnancy massage tables, that provide both room and support for the pregnant belly. For expectant moms who still aren’t comfortable with the idea, there are also special pregnancy massage pillows or cushions that allow Mommy to lay comfortably on her side on a regular table.
Even if you can’t afford a professional massage for the mother-to-be, you can still treat her to a pregnancy foot massage. A pregnancy foot massage costs absolutely nothing, and will be a great treat for Mom at the end of the day. Also, pregnancy foot massage can be used to induce labor, if Mommy’s ready to get that baby out of there.
This holiday, give the Mommy-to-be in your life the gift of rest and relaxation. She deserves it, for all the hard work she’s doing now, and all of the hard work she has in front of her. Why not show her how much you care about her? Read this for more.
