Sick of spewing or feeling nauseous?!
This may come as a surprise to you, but reflexology can help tremendously when you are pregnant.
It can help support you through that first draining period when your body stresses as it goes through a lot of physical changes. By bringing harmony and sense of well-being using relaxing soothing techniques you unwind and feel re-energized after a maternity reflexology session. Better yet, in those first 13 weeks, it could assist to reduce nausea and morning sickness!
Morning sickness occurs due to the changes in hormone levels. Nearly every women experience nausea in the first 3 months, sometimes paired with vomiting, called morning sickness. Although it can also occur any other time of the day and with certain smells.
You lose a lot of fluids during this time and it is important to keep up your water intake and your electrolytes balanced. Much the same as when you go bush walking in hot weather or during the good old Aussie summer.
Your stomach will be agitated from the hormonal changes. Be kind to it. Eat small amounts more often and drink fresh Ginger or Peppermint tea, which may help ease nausea temporarily.
Taking the time getting up can help settle down that nauseous feeling. So, ask your men to give you breakfast in bed, or at least a cuppa 😉
Reflexology can calm down upset digestive & kidney systems through your feet. By apply pressure to a specific ‘reflex point’, a messenger travels to the corresponding area in your body to deliver its’ message, which could decrease your morning sickness symptoms. It can also balance out your blood sugar levels and supports the change process of your hormones.
It even has a specific anti-nausea point, that is easy to do yourself! We’ll teach you when you come in for your sessions. Being specifically trained in Maternity reflexology we know how to do so safely.
Fun fact! As the feet reflect the whole body, it will show you the swelling of your baby bump, and you can see it grow during the 9 months on your feet.
