Always best to prepare for this, especially when practising these techniques you can get a good massage thrown in for free!!
Suggestions from The Maternity Network
- Double hip squeeze – squeeze both hips together to pick the muscles up off the lower back.
- Counter pressure – firm but gentle pressure on the lower back.
- ‘All fours’ position.
- Back massage – sweep up from the hips to the bra strap line, take the pressure off when coming back round the tummy to the hips again.
- Polar bear position – from an ‘all fours’ position place your knees behind your hips and drop down onto your elbows, placing your head on a pillow. Your bottom should be in the air. Don’t worry about how this looks – you’re not posing for Vogue!
- Gentle walk.
- Sit on a birth ball
