In the third trimester, prospective fathers should learn to massage their wives.

As the belly gets bigger and bigger, in order to make up for the imbalance, the standing posture and sitting posture of pregnant women are different from usual. They will turn their heads forward and backward, so that their heads, feet and chest muscles are particularly tired. With the gradual growth of the fetus, the fetus affects the lung and lymphatic circulation system of pregnant women, and pregnant women are prone to edema of lower limbs.

Many physical discomforts bring particularly unstable emotions to pregnant women. Worries about fetal growth, work pressure and trivial matters of family problems have also become extremely sensitive. Excessive pressure leads to decreased resistance of pregnant women, decreased blood oxygen, and poor uterine blood circulation, which affects fetal development. For this reason, the reaction of physical discomfort is even worse, leading to rapid heartbeat and nausea.

Therefore, whether physically or psychologically, the first lesson for a happy mother to give birth to a healthy baby is to learn to relax, and massage is the gentlest way to relax.

Second, pregnant mother massage has many benefits.

When the wife is pregnant, the prospective father is often at a loss. At this time, massage is the best way for you to express your concern with actions. Through the considerate heart and gentle strength of the prospective father, it can not only alleviate the physical discomfort of pregnant women, but also enhance their feelings.

The principle of massage is to adjust physiological function and improve pathological changes through hand strength and skill. At present, the recognized massage functions are: promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, relieving swelling and pain, relieving and eliminating muscle spasm, relieving nerve compression and enhancing metabolism. The symptoms of pregnant women during pregnancy, especially through acupoint massage, can be alleviated. But massage for pregnant women must be very cautious, because some acupoints can't be stimulated during pregnancy, and the massage must be strong enough.

For example, pregnant women support their babies at the waist, which is easy to get hurt. Pressing the back can relieve pain, relax tense muscles and improve incorrect posture; Massage the Fengchi point on the pregnant mother's head to effectively relax the neck stiffness; Gently pressing the calf can relieve the muscle discomfort of pregnant mothers and reduce calf cramps. At the same time, through the husband's massage to his wife, it can promote the communication and harmony between husband and wife, give expectant mothers a sense of security and reduce the occurrence of postpartum depression. Moreover, the fetus can also feel the care of the father in the mother's belly, which can enhance the parent-child relationship and contribute to the normal development of the fetus.

Third, how to massage pregnant women is the most comfortable?

Massage is a very private and intimate activity. There is no need to rigidly stipulate the length of massage time and the number of times of each action. It is most important to follow personal preferences.

1, preparation before massage

The indoor environment should be comfortable and quiet with moderate temperature; Put some light music during massage to relax; Choosing massage after bathing and before going to bed helps to create a sweet sleep; Pregnant women's skin is sensitive, so we should use mild moisturizer or emulsion as massage oil, which can reduce skin friction during massage and help nourish pregnant women's skin.

2, the choice of massage position

Sit down. The pregnant mother puts her arms behind her to support her body. The prospective father gently holds his wife's knees with his right hand and his wife's ankles with his left hand. Keeping this posture, the prospective father will repeatedly curl and straighten his wife's knees according to the direction of joint movement. Massage should be light before heavy, slow before fast.

In the supine position, the prospective father gently holds his wife's neck with his hands on his head and maintains this posture. The prospective father holds his wife's neck and then slowly puts it down, and so on.

Of course, if the time of the prospective father allows, the prospective father is the first choice for massage. In the process of massage, both husband and wife should communicate, unify their thoughts and massage as gently as possible. Pregnant mothers should be asked in time whether the massage intensity and indoor temperature are appropriate, and at the same time, the level of prenatal education should be improved through the communication between prospective fathers and fetuses.

4. The massage is over

After the massage, pregnant women should rely on their prospective fathers to relax, turn around or get up gently after breathing is calm, and should not go out immediately to avoid catching cold.

Fourth, pregnant women should pay attention to the timing of massage.

If the massage is careless, it may damage the health of pregnant women and even cause serious consequences such as abortion. Therefore, it is best for pregnant mothers to seek advice after being examined by a specialist, and they must not be too hasty and confused. Avoid massage under the following circumstances:

1, too hungry, too full or upset.

2. Whether there are pregnancy complications or any diseases, such as dermatosis, heart disease, asthma and hypertension.

3, 3 months before pregnancy and before delivery 1 month and a half, the intensity should not be too great.

4. If the doctor judges that the fetus is abnormal.
