Many women in their 40th or later week of pregnancy try many things to get labor started - from eggplant, to balsamic vinegar, to castor oil to sex. These are all old wives tales but when a woman has been pregnant for the greater part of the year, the end of the process can really drag on for some women who are anxious and excited to meet their new baby. No one seems to really talk about the stress of the last few weeks of pregnancy, especially going past your due date, which can be incredibly stressful. Rest assured, your baby will come when ready -- probably right about the time you stop trying to go into labor. It's important to not put pressure on yourself and you can ask your partner to help you relax.
When it comes to your partner helping, nothing beats a prenatal massage.
Here is Belli's At Home Prenatal Massage using our teratology screened, safe pregnancy skin care collection:
1. Experience total bliss by blending Elasticity Belly Oil and Skin Smoothing Body Exfoliator together in your hand.
2. Massage all over dry skin and rinse thoroughly. Skin will feel unbelievably smooth and moisturized.
3. For feet, prep by using Skin Smoothing Body Exfoliator all over your feet and calves, then rinse.
4. Follow with light foot massage using Foot Relief Cream and finish by elevating feet above the heart for 10 minutes.
Note: Please consult with your doctor if you are pregnant before doing at-home massage treatments.
Good luck to all the moms out there that are going long. Keep your chin up!
