Post natal feet...

The bumps have gone!
Mommy and Daddy and Baby are all well, if a little tired. Thank you all for allowing me to walk along this exciting path with you and the pregnant feet!

Beautiful Baby Girl.

And here she is! Born at 9.26 pm Monday 19th October 2009 weighing 8lb 11oz. Absolutely amazing.
Just look at those perfect little feet.
Maybe baby reflexology will be the next blog!

beautiful biggly bumped pregnant feet. 36 weeks

Eve is now absolutely desperate to give birth to her baby girl and hold her in her arms rather than carrying her around in a space that seems far too small!!!

You can see the bulging areas on the inner sides of her feet and how the bulge now reaches higher up the foot. On the picture of the base of the foot the fullness in the arch is very evident. Prior to pregnancy this area was concave, but now it is full and bounding, just like Eve's pregnant uterus. The right foot has a fuller bulge and Eve feels the larger foot reflects where her babies back lies and where she feels her weight.

This reflexology session focused on relaxation and Eve's comfort throughout the treatment was paramount. Prior to the session the maternity checklist was completed to ensure Eve's suitability for treatment. A hypnotherapy birthing CD was used to help Eve visualise her baby and promote calmness now and during the rest of the pregnancy and delivery too.

dad -to -be was also involved in this treatment and he hoped to learn some relaxing massage techniques to use with Eve whenever she felt they would benefit. Partners can benefit greatly from becoming involved in this way and many relaxing techniques can be learnt with ease.
