Not only for wives, babies in the womb may also be able to feel your hand massage. This can foster an inner bond between you.

The area of ​​your wife's body that you can massage is the abdomen and back.

Before massaging, prepare oil to make it easier for your hands to slip on the skin such as baby oil, olive oil, or jojoba oil. Here's an explanation of how to massage your wife who is pregnant:

Massaging the abdominal area. Make sure your wife's body position does not lie flat on your back when you do a massage on her stomach, especially if the duration of massage lasts longer. Lying on your back for too long when the womb has entered the second trimester can make it weak while disrupting blood flow to the fetus.

The wife's position is suggested to lie on the left side of her body. Place a pillow under your stomach, behind your back, and between your knees. Besides this position, you can also tell your wife to sit on the floor or bed.

After that you can start massaging it. Rub your palms together so they are flexible when doing massage. Pour enough oil into the palm of your hand, then rub the palms together to give a warm sensation when touching the skin.

You can start massaging the side of his stomach, and slowly, move your hand to the center. Then, gradually move your hands down towards the pubic bone, then trace each side of the groin, then back up to the right and left sides of the abdomen. Use gentle pressure when massaging his stomach. Don't press his stomach hard.

Repeat the movement above, but this time, you can add massage to the area of ​​her breasts. Starting from the top then going down along each side. Finally, you can massage the entire area of ​​his abdomen.

Massaging the back area. To do this massage, ask your wife to sit in a chair with a backrest, and without an armrest. Position the wife sitting with her chest resting on the backrest (sitting position upside down with the chair). For convenience, add a few pillows in the area of ​​his front body. This position can also make him lean back on the pillow.

You can start massaging the spine from top to bottom. When it reaches the pelvis, use the heel of the palm to give gentle pressure on both sides of the pelvis. In this position, you can also do a massage with your thumb or the fingertips of both hands. Do a massage until he feels comfortable. If your hands are tired, you can massage with the help of a tennis ball wrapped in socks.

It is recommended not to massage your wife when the womb is still in the first trimester (first 3 months). The reason is that women who are pregnant in this trimester are prone to miscarriage.

Come on, be a ready husband who is ready to take care of your wife more when she is pregnant. Besides being beneficial for your wife and fetus, this massage can also make your relationship with your wife warmer, you know!
