The other week our midwife recommends starting a rebozo routine to help with my aches and pains. During my appointment, Dominic got a little lesson and well, now we're rebozo pros :)
The rebozo is a Mexican scarf with multiple purposes - relieving pregnancy discomfort is just one of them. It can also be used during labor as a means to reduce pain and reposition a baby for easier childbirth. Later, it's a perfect babywearing wrap.
We'll definitely be taking our wrap to brother's birth to try it out as a birthing tool as well. I'm so thankful Dominic is on board with all my natural remedies during pregnancy and childbirth. Luckily, he's also a supporter of a prenatal massage here and there. He's sending me to one today! Massage in combination with our daily rebozo dates make me one happy pregnant mama.

last night was the first night i may have needed this...i was SO uncomfortable...looks interesting!
Definitely give it a try! It really helps me!
I'm totally going to try this. With my second pregnancy i had the pelvis popping and discomfort very early. i got pregnant again when my baby was about 7 months old, and the doc said if it happened with the last pregnancy, then it would probably happen with this one too, and let me tell you at 18 weeks I'm already feeling it! thanks
I'm guessing it's one of those things that gets worse with each pregnancy since our bodies so quickly remember the growth and stretching that happens during pregnancy.
This cracked me up because I always ask Ricky to hold up my belly :) I will stand in front of him while he sits on the couch and props up the belly for awhile. It's amazing how much relief you get! We laugh about him holding the baby for me for a second :)
It's does feel great! It's the least they can do to hold the baby for a few minutes when we take on the load for months :)
