How the body develops with pregnancy:

​First Trimester;
What's happening in the first three months, the egg has been fertilized and is growing rapidly into layers of cells and implants in the wall of your womb. Your baby in this trimester grows the fastest than any other. By six weeks and heartbeat can be heard and by twelve your babies bones, muscles and organs have formed. This time is the biggest hormonal shift in your body. You can suffer from morning sickness/evening or even all day. You feel lethargic, emotional, tender breasts, headaches and over all hyper sensitive.
 
Second and Third Trimester;
Things may have eased off a little in your 2nd and 3rd Trimesters. You are becoming  a little more settled in yourself. Feeling more energy and perhaps less nausea and vomiting if you suffered from either or both. Definitely fewer mood swings and feeling a little more yourself. This is when we can focus a little more on preparation for the baby and have a little more energy to be productive. Physically the baby is growing in size so you are becoming bigger and heavier. This in turn can create a few physical changes in your body.

• Skin Changes
• Dry, Itchy belly
• Leg pain, Cramps
• Ankles, hands and face swelling/Edema
• Aching back, Pelvis and Hips
• Stomach pain

The Second and Third Trimester and more physically demanding on your body. The benefits of pregnancy massage are endless, especially in the fourth trimester which is less spoken of.
 
Fourth Trimester
Congratulations, you have had your baby! Well done! Now to keep up with your body changing again. Hormonal, physically and emotionally you are changing and also getting to know your little baby you have created with very little sleep. Coming in for a massage after a natural birth around the two week mark and after a C-section the twelve week mark all depending on recovery and how you feel. The benefits to have time and head space to yourself and be looked after. The opportunity to switch off and have that healthy space and time away from your baby. Attending to yourself care and check in in with your mind, body and soul.
