What is a pregnancy massage or prenatal massage?
Pregnancy massage or prenatal massage are generic terms used to describe a variety of conditions and treatments performed to help alleviate the signs and symptoms associated with pregnancy.
Conditions like: Sciatica, headaches, low back pain, swelling in the extremities, muscle tension and sleep disturbances can all be part of being pregnant. An RMT can work to address all these conditions.
Why use an RMT for pregnancy massage or prenatal massage?
A BC RMT has 3000 hours of training. They have specific training in the physiology and anatomy of pregnancy. There are specific techniques that are used for different stages of the pregnancy cycle.
The bigger question is, “What RMT is a specialist in pregnancy massage?” Technically, RMTs cannot say they specialize in any one treatment or technique. This is a regulatory requirement of our governing body, the CMTBC.
To work with this regulation you will see RMTs use words like: “focus”, “area of treatment” or “training in”. To find an RMT that works best for you I suggest looking for a personal referral and research that RMT online.
Here are some questions I suggest asking: Read more...

A lot of women ask if they can breast feed after Breast Augmentation Surgery. The answer is a resounding yes. For the vast majority of women who have a BA breastfeeding is no more difficult with implants than without. In fact, some women who have breast fed with and without implants say that breastfeeding with implants is easier!
Breastfeeding is a growing concern with patients who have had Breast Augmentation surgery. In previous years, women who received implants were married and had already finished with childbearing. However, more and more single women, and women who have not finished or even begun childbearing are having the surgery.
In 1992 the first report of a Silicone Illness hit the media. At that time there was fear that breastfeeding with silicone implants would endanger the child. There has been studies performed to show this not to be the case. The main reason being that the silicone molecule is too large to pass into the milk ducts.
Later, Silicone was removed from general use, and Saline implants were the only available devices on the market. Even if the saline did leach into the milk, it is an inert substance, with no harmful effects on mother or baby.

Being a mother is the most miraculous experience a woman could experience. Unfortunately, after pregnancy you have to battle with the excess pounds to regain pre-pregnancy shape. There are some women who can shred excess pounds easily but for the rest, it’s difficult. If you are one of those women worrying how to lose the extra pounds after pregnancy, here are some things you can do to regain pre-pregnancy shape:
Do not expect immediate weight loss after pregnancy. It is not realistic to expect to regain pre-pregnancy shape immediately after pregnancy. Remember that you gained weight in 9 months and you need at least the same amount of time to lose the excess pounds and regain pre-pregnancy shape. Be happy with a little progress you have, losing weight takes time.
Don’t get mesmerized and get envious with supermodels or famous people who get back to their original shape in such a short time. Remember that they are rich and famous and they have access to all the modern techniques to lose weight. Read more...

In the current health articles, we have seen the topic of breast feeding and myths related to it, have been raised tremendous times. These current heath articles reveal the today’s hi-tech and scientific world and women still believe in these myths. There are many myths that have been attached to the breast feeding. The myths are like the following:
The first and most common myth is that the majority of women aren’t able to produce more than enough milk. But in reality, this is the false conception. The current heath articles, written by the scholars, have shown that the overabundance of milkis common. The most common and usual reason that the baby does not get the milk that is available is that he is poorly latched onto the breast. This is why it has become so important that the mother be shown how to latch a baby on properly.
The second myth that has been shown in the current health articles is that it is normal for breastfeeding to hurt. This is not true at all. Any pain related to it that is more than mild is abnormal and it is because that the baby is not latching properly. Any nipple pain that is not getting better by day 3 or 4 or lasts beyond 5 or 6 days should not be ignored by the mother. Read more...
