From the third trimester of pregnancy some circulatory problems often appear: swollen legs, or/and feet, oedemas, cramps. The poor circulation is responsible for the uncomfortable sensation of tired and heavy legs.

The poor circulation, in turn, is the consequence of two main factors generating poor blood return and water retention:
The first one, mechanic, is the result of the compression of the inferior vena cava (IVC) by the uterus that expands with the baby and compresses the main vein carrying the blood up from the legs. With the growth of your baby the compression increases and the normal blood return to you lower limbs decreases.
The second factor is hormonal and linked to the high concentration of oestrogen and relaxin secreted by your body during pregnancy. Indeed, these two hormones decrease the tonus of your veins. 
As your veins become hypotonic and are compressed by your womb, it becomes more difficult for the blood to flow back to the upper body; thus it stagnates in the lower limbs longer. This, together with the water retention, causes your legs to swell and makes them feel heavy and tired. The circulatory disorders usually disappear after the pregnancy.

Mummy’s Physio treatment:
In order to avoid those uncomfortable sensations and swelling during your pregnancy, Mummy’s Physio offers circulatory massage with cryo cream which stimulates blood return and efficiently takes away the sensation of tiredness and heavy legs as well as reduces the swellings. This massage will bring you immediate relief, lightness and comfort you deserve during your pregnancy. As the treatment will take place at your home, you will be able to increase the benefits of the massage by relaxing in bed afterwards, lying down with you feet up (position improving the circulation)
