Reflexology for Labour Preparation
Reflexology is an excellent way to prepare for labour as it relieves stress and anxiety and helps you to become deeply relaxed which is the best possible state for being ready to give birth to your baby.
If your estimated due date has come and gone, having reflexology can be of benefit by reducing the high levels of anxiety which may be preventing you from going into labour.
You may be concerned about having an induction. The majority of babies will deliver naturally by 42 weeks. Reflexologists do not claim to induce labour as an induction is a medical procedure carried out in hospital. instead, what we do as reflexologists is much more subtle than the medical procedures and we talk in terms of 'preparing the body for birth'. Even encouraging relaxation at this time, when women are often worried about the birth, can sometimes be enough for labour to start. If the body has high levels of stress hormones the body is essentially in fight or flight mode and so her body is saying, 'don’t go into labour but run somewhere that is safe for you.'
As your due date approaches, you may find it useful to visit a reflexologist more frequently.
Although there is no evidence that reflexology can induce labour, the general view is that it will help support the body to prepare for the birth and promote relaxation at a time when anxiety levels are often high.
Having a baby, whether or not it is your first pregnancy, will bring you plenty of wonderful experiences and new challenges and using reflexology may just help you on this journey.
I will be providing a deeply relaxing treatment for you. I am fully trained in Shiatsu and so will also be applying pressure to various points which are also used in acupuncture for the purpose of helping your body to prepare for giving birth.
