Massaging those birth injuries away
There are a number of ways in which you could sustain a birth injury, from the course of nature right through to medical negligence. However, you will only be in a position to make a birth injury claim where the negligence of another party can be proven as contributing to your personal injury.
Of course no body wants to sustain a birth injury of any kind, we all wish for trouble-free pregnancies and deliveries where we enjoy each minute with as little pain as possible. Some of you may be thinking "If only" but there are methods that you can try to keep those birth injury claims to a minimum.
One such way is through the aid of massage. During pregnancy the heart, lungs, digestive system, kidneys and joints are working overtime to deal with weight gain, postural changes and the presence of something new relying on your body's resources. Aches and pains from existing injuries can re-emerge and take much of the enjoyment out of pregnancy and your early years as a mother.
Massage can help to ease pains, drain the lymph glands and improve circulation while relieving tired, bloated legs, minimising stress and improving sleep. It can also help to calm an overly active baby which may be kicking and keeping you awake at night.
It stands to reason that a more supple, relaxed and mentally prepared mother-to-be will experience a more enjoyable birth and be at less risk of birth injury than a mother who is tense and putting her body under unnecessary stress. Some birthing partners even continue the massage technique throughout labour which can provide fantastic pain relief.
Birth injuries are wide ranging and even the fittest of women can sustain injury. For example, champion runner Paula Radcliffe went through a 27-hour labour and ended up with two child-birth related stress fractures to her lower back this year which significantly slowed her return to the track.
The method of massage can also be used post-birth to help new mothers cope with the challenges of motherhood including fatigue, back pain and stress. Just a little time out to rejuvenate your body will leave you energised and in a better frame of mind to nurture your child.
