Read Jan’s paper on anxiety in pregnancy
During the last trimester is when many of the neurological pathways are being laid down in your unborn baby. For some mums stress and anxiety can have a negative effect. The production of the stress hormone cortisol can interrupt some of the normal neurological pathways being activated.
Keeping stress and anxiety, as low as possible is really important during pregnancy. Massage is a great way to do this.
It has a further benefit of making your partner part of the pregnancy at a time when your whole focus is on your baby and he can feel isolated.
In the labour ward your partner can help you relax by a loving caring massage. By supporting you there is evidence that this relaxation can shorten labour and reduce the level of pain relief needed.
It has been shown that massage during pregnancy and labour can reduce the levels of postnatal depression for both of you.
