How to massage your belly during pregnancy?
Belly massage during pregnancy can be performed in different ways.
One of the most effective involves starting by assuming a comfortable position and caressing your belly from top to bottom, proceeding in a clockwise direction.
It is essential to concentrate well on your breathing and imagine, with each touch, that you are caressing your little one.
During the massage it is also useful to perform undulating movements, almost as if pushing the baby downwards.
At this stage, breathing is even more important and can influence the tension of the uterus.
The above mentioned movements are then repeated from top to bottom, taking care to proceed in a rhythmic manner, and paying attention to changes in the level of hardness of the uterus.
