If you’re pregnant – or ever have been – you may have wondered about the benefit and safety involved with a prenatal massage. You’re aware that the extra weight you’re carrying creates major changes in your body, especially the added stress on your abdominal muscles, shoulders, neck and back. It also affects your ligaments by relaxing them, making your pelvic joints less stable and changing your posture by pulling your pelvis forward.

Before you consider including it in your pregnancy health routine, do some research to insure that the massage therapist you choose is trained in prenatal massage techniques, not just massage methods.

Question by Rowda: Prenatal depression and husband is unhelpful?
There seem to be no one to talk to. I’ve been put on a very small dose of fluoxetine 2.5mg but I still feel very depressed. What is the highest dose someone can take on antidepressants whilst pregnant. I have tried without no medication for the first four months of my pregnancy but I don’t think that I can go any further with out medical help.

hi, i am 19 +1 week pregnant for the last month i have been extremely tired, i cry at the littlest thing that upsets me and my mood has all of a sudden got bad which i never suffered with in my first 3 months of my pregancy. i have got constant worries that there is going to be a problem with my baby mainly down syndrome as i havent had any of the scans or tests done for it. my partner has recently been made redundant so we only have 1 income and i earn too much to get help with benefits so we are struggling. i work shift which isnt helping as i’m up at half 4 in the morning which i found hard even before i was pregnant but never struggled as much as i am. i finish wok at 2 and by half past im fast asleep on the sofa for an hour then back in bed for 8 to make sure i get enough sleep to get my through the next day. i’m finding it really hard to concentrate or even move about too much.
work isnt helping as im constantly on my feet which gives me backache and stomach ache, i’m also eating foods that are making my sick as i work within a food factory and my boss isnt really listerning to me when i try and talk to her. but i’m mainly worried about the tiredness as i have to drive and the worrying. i feel like i have so much going on in my head that i just dont know what to do but cry and i even then start to worry that my stress is going to harm my baby which i REALLY dont want.

please help
i very miserable helen

Hi i’m a mother of 1 and about to have our second child (due date in a week) I’ve allways been a very happy stay at home mum and housewife but recently, over the last few weeks i’ve started to feel very depressed by my life, feeling like it’s going nowhere and i’m useless.
My husband works and i don’t have any friends close by so i spend everyday alone with my 3 year old and as much as i love her company i feel very lonely.
My husband doesn’t know how to react to this sudden change in my character and honestly neither do i.
Has anyone else felt this way? did it go away on it’s own? please give me advice on what to do i feel stuck in this life!!
