Natural Ways to Pamper your Pregnacy!
Nine Years ago the moment I discover I was pregnant, my whole world turns upside down! But while all eyes remain focused on my baby, sometimes during pregnancy you may begin to feel that you – and your needs – are fading into the background. You might even feel a little guilty about wanting some special attention during this time.
In fact, no woman needs – or deserves – a little SPA pampering more than a mother-to-be! If you’re a pregnant working gal – and especially if you are already caring for one, two or more little ones at home – then taking even just a few moments a day for yourself during pregnancy can go a long way in not only helping to relieve your tension and stress, but also ensure your baby is happier and healthier as well.
To help set you in the right “pregnant diva direction” here are some tips for pampering your pregnant body, mind and spirit!
Natural Pregnancy Care Tip # 1
Revel in a lavender foot soak! Fill a small plastic basin with warm water to which you add up to 5 drops of essential oil of lavender. Immerse both feet and soak for ten minutes. Studies conducted at the Nagano College of Nursing showed how just one 10 minute soak not only increases circulation to legs and feet, but also brings about measurable changes in the autonomic nervous system – the area of the brain that controls stress and anxiety.
Natural Pregnancy Spa Tip # 2
To soothe sore, swollen, tender tootsies fill a 16 ounce soda bottle with water and put it in the freezer. After it’s frozen, place on the floor and roll your foot back and forth over the bottle to relieve aches and spasms.
