Massage can allow pregnant moms to unwind during this time. It can also alleviate the resulting discomfort and other pregnancy-related symptoms.

He demonstrates a full body massage in different positions: prone, supine, semi-reclined, and side lying. Meade also discusses benefits and contrindications, postural analysis, bolsters, positioning and draping, and fetal development.
