Es”scent”ials for Pregnancy

Es”scent”ials for Pregnancy

By Marci Cagen, LMT, RMT, RN

 Aromatherapy is a nurturing way to promote happiness and a sense of well being while easing some of the discomforts that pregnancy can bring.  Although some precautions must be taken when choosing which oils to use, aromatherapy is a great way to bring ease and comfort during the pre-natal period. 

Did you know that the essential oil expressed from ginger is an ideal way to alleviate nausea?  You can inhale it straight from the lid of the bottle or add 1-2 drops to a tissue and breathe in slowly.

Tired, swollen feet and legs are a common complaint during pregnancy. A gentle massage using firm pressure up the legs and very light strokes coming back down towards the feet can relieve stress in the lower extremities.  Backaches are especially common during pregnancy so an aromatherapy massage, especially in the lower back, can bring relief and ease tension.  Rose, chamomile, sandalwood and lavender are wonderful, safe oils to use. Remember to always use a good base product like almond, safflower or jojoba oil to blend your essential oils in before applying directly to your skin.

For prevention and treatment of stretch marks, a blend of neroli and mandarin can be applied in a carrier oil like apricot.  Both have strong cell-regenerating properties and bring a soothing and uplifting sense to the mind, body and spirit.

Because of the heightened sense of smell during pregnancy, only half of the usual amount of essential oils should be used.  For example, only 3-4 drops in a bath or 4-5 in a diffuser.  If applying during a massage, only 1-1 ½ % should be blended into the cream or oil that is being used.

Aromatherapy is a safe and effective way to enjoy all of the milestones during pregnancy.

How Bodywork affects Pain

How Bodywork affects Pain

by Liz Blasingame Suvali

We all can identify with pain on some level.  Pain is our body’s only way to let us know something’s wrong inside.  Where does it come from?   There’s a part of the brain, called the limbic system, it measures pleasure and pain.  It feels good  . . . it doesn’t feel good.   Now this part of the brain doesn’t know anything about reality, can’t tell the difference between physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.  Pain can come from any of these sources.  Sometimes when we have a trauma, it’s the event around it, that impact into the body.  So let’s say you’ve been in a car accident, it’s got a definite physical aspect to it, but what about the other components.   Emotionally what was the state just before the accident . . . were you happy, sad, angry, etc . . . could it be part of the trauma?  It’s possible.  All these things can play a role in the trauma and the levels of pain you experience.  When getting bodywork, sometimes these other parts can come into play.  It may be while you’re on the table or it may be later that day or the next that you feel the parts of the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual states.

After  you’ve had your visit . . . things to watch for . . .

Muscle ache . . . chills . . . headaches . . . nausea                                                                   

emotions(running hi/low, seeming to come out of the blue)

Low grade temperature.

Usually people continue to get better after their visit, occasionally, they feel worse.  The nature of bodywork is that, the process  does not stop when you get off the table.   It continues for 24 to 48 hours.  If you feel any of the above symptoms, try drinking more fluids(water is best).  It could be another part coming up and out.  If you have any questions please call.

 

Be kind to yourself today . . . 

 No heavy lifting/working out today . . . 

• Try a nice hot bath . . . 
• Write down your thoughts and dreams . . .
• Drink plenty of  water/fluids.

Why is a "One Doctor Practice” important when deciding who will deliver my baby?

Many practices have multiple physicians. Consequently, you may see a different physician for each appointment. Some you may feel comfortable with, others you may not connect with at all!. Continuity of care is difficult in this type of practice. How will the physician you are seeing today know what you discussed with the physician you saw at your last visit? You may feel like you are starting from scratch with each appointment. You may even find that physicians in the same practice have differing opinions regarding recommendations, treatments or birthing policies. In a practice like this, you have no choice with regard to which physician will deliver your baby. It all depends on their schedule. This is the most important moment in your life and the first and most precious moments of your child’s life. Wouldn’t you like to be able to have some control over it?

A one doctor practice allows you to build a personal and trusting relationship with the physician who will ultimately deliver your baby. Knowing that this physician delivers only at one hospital, gives you the security to know where you will be delivering as well. Deciding to deliver with Dr. Christine Brass-Jones provides you the opportunity to feel like “part of the family”. She takes great pride in building a nurturing and attentive relationship with her patients. Your office appointments will always be with her or her physician assistant, ensuring that she always knows what is going on with her patients. Her office also offers great integrated medical support in the form of prenatal classes, Leleche League meetings, pregnancy yoga, massage and naturopathic medicine. You can be sure that she cares about you and your pregnancy and delivery because she will be with you throughout the entire process. There will, of course, be rare occasions when she will need to arrange for back-up. In such instances, rest assured that you will be made aware of this in a timely manner.
