Massaging the lower abdomen can be very helpful for women who are trying to conceive (TTC). Here are the benefits
1. Improves blood flow
• Gentle massage sends more blood to the uterus and ovaries.
• More blood means better oxygen and nutrients, which helps your body prepare for pregnancy.
2. Balances hormones
• Massage can help your body relax and lower stress.
• Less stress means better hormone balance, which helps with regular periods and ovulation.
3. Helps the womb stay in the right position
• Sometimes the uterus (womb) can tilt or move slightly.
• Gentle massage can support the womb to stay in a good position to catch the egg and grow a baby.
4. Reduces period pain and bloating
• Regular lower belly massage may ease cramps, gas, and bloating.
• A more relaxed belly means more comfort during your TTC journey.
5. Breaks down scar tissue
• If you’ve had surgery, infections, or endometriosis, you may have scar tissue.
• Gentle massage may help soften those areas and make it easier for the egg and s***m to meet.
Always remember
• Do not massage during your period or after ovulation if you think you might be pregnant.
• Always use gentle pressure and maybe warm oil.
