Benefits of Prenatal Massage during Labor
The following are the benefits of massage when a pregnant woman is going through labor pains:

• Decreases anxiety: When a woman who is in labor gets a massage, it will give her the assurance that everything will work out well. She will be more confident and will also be able to bear the pains of childbirth with confidence.
• It will aid in the proper positioning of the baby: when a massage is carried out by a professional, it may help in positioning the child in the right position to facilitate a normal birth.
• Increase in dilation: It has been noted that when the jaw or the upper part of the mouth is massaged, it will enhance the relaxation of the vagina so that the baby will come out smoothly.
• Reduces the need for medical intervention: Massage carried out in the right manner will make the process of giving birth easier and there will be less risk of going through a caesarian section or other medical intervention procedures.
• Reduced back pain: A back massage during labor will help in reducing the intensity of back pain that is as a result of the labor pains.
• Speeds up labor: When the right techniques are using during the massage, the woman will be able to give birth much faster than a woman who has not had a pregnancy massage.
• Renewed energy: Massage therapy is known to improve the flow of blood and oxygen in the body. When a massage is carried out during labor, the woman will be re-energized and will be able to push harder.

When a pregnant woman is given all the support that she needs including a massage in her most difficult moment of childbearing, she will be able to overcome all odds and give birth within the shortest possible time. You should, however, make sure that the massage therapist is a professional before allowing you to carry on with the massage.
