Last week was rough. Lea is cutting some hefty molars and I was a tired, crampy hormonal mess. So who pays for my woes? My husband, naturally. How did he react? Prenatal massage at the new spa on Ramstein. Oh yes, good boy. I went in today and had my back done over by a huge German with hands big enough to strangle an elephant with. Hours later, I am still feeling like a wet noodle. I reek of lavender and eucalyptus and I am as happy as a pig in mud. I thought this was interesting, though: during a professional prenatal massage, they (or at least Germans) will not rub feet. They say that the pressure points in your feet send signals through your body to different organs and that this can harm the baby. I thought it was an interesting tidbit and it's something that I am going to look into. Have any of you ever heard that?
Something particularly spectacular is happening tomorrow. I will blog about it then, but I am practically wetting myself in anticipation.
i had heard of women going for foot massages close to their due dates because of a certain pressure point. not sure where it is located though.
ReplyDeleteI am guessing that you are going to find out if the bean is a boy bean or girl bean???
ReplyDeleteANd yes, I have heard that foot massages in pregnant women can actually start contractions. But I had not that it could harm the baby in early pregnancy. Interesting...I swear I learn something new every day!!
