Massage
Most people enjoy human touch. A touch can convey comfort, love, awareness and many other sensations. Pregnancy massage has been found to reduce stress, decrease swelling in the arms and legs, and relieve aches and pains in muscles and joints. All of these are of benefit, especially when you are pregnant and during the postpartum period.
It's a popular complementary therapy during the childbearing year for back pain, when choices for pain relief, such as medication, are often limited.
