Post Natal Massage Singapore

Ballooning up like a whale is something most pregnant mommies face when they are reaching their 3rd trimester and I was no exception. I've had many people telling me that engaging a good post natal masseur & binding your stomach is really important as it helps "shrink" your uterus and in return, your stomach too. 

I was reaching out to my mommy friends for recommendations to no avail and luckily I was introduced to Post Natal Massage Singapore! There were able to commit to me readily and I did not have to worry about the masseur giving me a "no-show" like some of the horror stories I've heard from my mommy friends.

Here's a picture of my masseur from Post Natal Massage Singapore and I after my 8th session of postnatal massage and I'm really impressed with her skills and service.

Look at how huge my stomach was, this was probably 2 weeks before I delivered. Looking back at this picture now, I can't believe or even remember my belly being this big. 

My masseur always arrive on time and the thorough full body massage which I had was really beneficial and essential to me. It helped with reducing the initial water retention that I had, especially on my legs. The Post Natal Massage also aids tremendously in any clogged milk ducts or engorgement issues from breastfeeding. Surprisingly, I didn't find the lactation massage to be too painful as many mommies warned me to be. In fact, I looked forward to it because it helps relieve any blockage in my milk ducts and I always feel lighter and more relaxed after each session. My breast milk flow and production improved and Kayla could latch on and feed with ease. 

I had the massage in the comfort of my own home and I just placed an old comforter over my bed so that it will not be stained by the oil used during the massage. If not, you will be advised to place a large towel underneath you. The Post Natal Massage was something I forward to as I could take a break from constantly latching Kayla every 1.5-2 hours during her newborn stage.

I never knew that postnatal massage played such a crucial role for postnatal recovery until I've personally delivered. I remembered walking slightly more from day 3-6 after delivery as I can't stand lying in bed the entire day and feeling a weird "empty" feeling in my uterus. It was from the misalignment of my pelvic and abdominal organs after childbirth. & with the Post Natal Massage, it can immediately encourage discharge of lochia, and return the position of my pelvic and abdominal organs back to its pre-pregnancy position.

My masseur Post Natal Massage Singapore even commented that I've been walking a little too much and my uterus is pretty low. She said she could help "massage and push" it back to position but it will take a few days. & indeed, the first time she did the massage, I felt a weird and achy feeling but by my 4th massage session, it had improved so much that I didn't feel any discomfort at all.

At the end of each session, the masseur will bind my stomach with a corset to keep "everything in place" and I really saw significant difference from day 1 compared to day 8 of my session. My waist and stomach area did become smaller and more toned. I kept the corset on for 6-8 hours as advised by the masseur and I was able to still breastfeed Kayla without any hindrance.

During one of the sessions, my masseur also demonstrated and taught me how to do a simple baby massage for Kayla which will help her with any stomach wind, a common issue faced by babies. Kayla was so calm during the massage and even fell asleep halfway into it. Haha.

I would highly recommend all pregnant mommies to have at least 7 sessions of postnatal massage as I truly benefited from it. If I could, for my next pregnancy, I will sign up for the 10 sessions package with Post Natal Massage Singapore!
