Friends/readers have been asking about this post-natal massage thing.
Does it works? How much? What does it do? That kind of stuffs.. those who are unsure.
Here's a summarised post about it.
I find that this massage benefits me alot after birth.
The massage lady is a malay lady.
Find her really skillful in massaging.
She's very friendly too.. will chit-chat with you during the massage.
Engaged her before during my 1st confinement. Took the package, 7 sessions.
Even after my 1st confinement i did asked her back to massage for me.
Total of 3 sessions after confinement but about 2 weeks apart each session.
Contented with the results.
Manage to lose all the extra 18kg that i gain during 1st pregnancy within 2 months after birth.
The main purpose of the post-natal massage is:
- Push up your uterus
- Clear water retention and wind
- Shrinks the tummy
- Helps to reduce weight
What to expect during the massage:
The lady will use 2 different kinds of oil to apply on your whole body.
FYI, the massage will be quite forceful/pain at some areas.
And you may hear her burp sometimes when she's massaging for you.
NOT because she eat too full that's why she burp -.-
The reason is because she's helping you to clear your wind from your body through burping out.
She cannot keep the wind without expressing out because if your wind go into her body, will cause her to fall sick.
Unbelieveable? But it's true.. =)
She comes over to your place most probably everyday unless she's busy on the next day, she will come on the day after tomorrow.
Massage is done from head to toe. Approximately 1 hour.
Yes, you will be naked. Only with your pantie on.
But of course, beforehand you need to prepare 2 towels.
1 for you to lie on and another for you to cover your body if she's not massaging that area yet.
The charges for the massage lady that i engaged:
Post-natal massage is $450 for 7 sessions. (package)
She does massage for slimming purposes too.
But from what i know, this month she's not free to do for those woman who wants the massage for slimming purposes.
Maybe can try booking her now, and probably she will give you appointment on the next month.
Single session for slimming purpose cost $70 per session.
Benefits when you took her package:
There will be binding/tummy wrap for the post-natal massage.
Advisable to wrap for at least 8 hours. For best result, till the next day.
2 free baby massage for your little one.
** Found this information on the web regarding baby massage:
Studies have shown that babies benefit from this massage as it helps to relieve discomfort from gas, colic and constipation. It improves blood circulation, enhance development of nervous system, stimulates neurological development, increases alertness, heightened awareness and improves immune function. **
A box contains 5 packs of powder for you to mix with water will be given for you to drink.
(the drink helps to expel wind, bring back your womb to original space and most importantly, slim you down!)
And a free gridle will be given to you.
When to start:
Normal delivery – can be done immediately after discharge from hospital.
C-section – wait for at least 2 weeks after delivery or when incision is properly healed.
People who are interested can give the massage lady a call to book her or ask for enquiries.
