Prenatal Massage

Why would you need a prenatal massage? I can tell you that it helps eases those pains and strains on your bodies, and helps to reduce your water retentions.

I've been doing it since my 5th month. Now past my 8th month I begin to do it more often. The massage lady said it can also helps your breast prepare for your breastfeeding time. She would massage it carefully to break those milk glands. She never touched my tummy though, cos the point of the massage is to ease your body from fatigue, and therefore makes you feel better and relaxed.

How to choose a massage lady? It's quite tough actually, if you go to those massage centres sometimes they offer prenatal and postnatal massage service. They usually will have certificates of trainings. You can trust these ones. If you must choose the individual practices, make sure you ask where she learns to massage, does she knows anatomy etc. If you are not sure, well better to pick the massage centres.

After my 7th month I'm doing it every 2wks. Previously it was every month. Mb later when it gets heavier and my whole body aches... I'll do it every week. Here in Sing, the cheapest one I can get is 40$ per visit (she comes to my house btw). I find her very good and experienced.

Some people think they don't need it, but I personally think we as moms to be need our own indulgence even though we are pregnant. So i personally recommend it for our own sake :D

Trimester Ketiga

Duh ga kerasa udh tinggal 10 minggu lagi menuju due date....
Antara excited, ga sabar, was was, but I really can't wait until that day comes!!!!

So far everything's been great!!! Braxton hicks contraction klopun ada, alhamdulillah ga berasa. No complications, I can feel the baby has turned upside down now.. Alhamdulillah aktif dan sehat sekali. Si bayi ga rewel, ga nyusahin ibunya.. Alhamdulillahhh....
Pekerjaan di kantor lg santai... Kinerja lg prima.. Alhamdulillahhh...

Perut udh semakin besar. Akhir2 ini utk jalan jauh rasanya kurang nyaman klo ga pake maternity belt. Jadi itu hampir wajib dipake kemanapun perginya :).
Kadang2 udh mule mengkhayal how will that day be.. the day I see her... Will it be natural? Caesarean? Under drugs, or fully sober? Rasanya excited banget lah!

Insya Allah lancar terus sampe hari H. AMiiiiiiiinnn...
