It is important to receive regular massage and bodywork after you delivery your baby. Women commonly have mood changes during pregnancy, especially after delivery. These mood changes may be caused by changes in hormone levels. Many non-hormonal factors may also affect mood during this period:

• Changes in your body from pregnancy and delivery
• Changes in work and social relationships
• Having less time and freedom for yourself
• Lack of sleep
• Worries about your ability as a mother

Feelings of anxiety, irritation, tearfulness, and restlessness are common in the week or two after pregnancy. These feelings are often called the postpartum or “baby blues.” Postpartum depression may occur when the baby blues do not fade away or when signs of depression start 1 or more months after childbirth. These symptoms almost always go away soon, without the need for treatment. Massage can often help resolve these feelings.

Research has shown that massage stimulates dopamine production and reduces the “stress hormones” running through your body. It’s amazing how much better you are able to deal with the challenges in life after you have had a massage. Massage also helps the psyche. As a new mom, you are doing so much for your family and new baby. All the focus is on your baby and your friends and family will often focus so much on the new baby, they forget about you. Taking the time to have someone focus on making you feel good goes a long way toward feeling better about yourself.

Massage can help by focusing on you – the new mom, as well as your newborn. Post-pregnancy can be an exciting but life-changing time in your life. It’s important to help keep your mind and body stress-free and free of pain. Make an appointment for you and the baby to enjoy together.
