“Every pregnancy is different” so my mum tells me and with your second it’s a lot easier everyone else tells me. Well, I don’t know what planet these people are from (or am I the alien?) but my second pregnancy I still experienced all the nausea and fatigue that I did with Carter throughout the first trimester. If anything I would say that it is harder with your second – feeling nauseous all day but not being able to be sick; having random odours irritate you and make you feel even more sick; feeling tired enough to sleep standing up and then the added bonus of having to entertain a super energetic 15 month old toddler who wants to play peek a boo or catch me if you can all day. The joy!
Now in my second Trimester I am beginning to feel more like myself and have started taking care of me – hooray! This is where Marianne Kyprianou comes in. Marianne is a qualified massage therapist based in central London. She came highly recommended and her treatments can be tailored to anyone and their individual needs. I call Marianne and just from speaking to her I felt relaxed and de-stressed; she has a great knack of knowing just what is going on beneath the surface of her clients and how to put them at ease.
I booked a pregnancy massage which I have to say was one of the best massages I have ever had and believe me I have had plenty. I felt like she worked on my body mind and soul and I was completely regenerated after one treatment, needless to say I am booked to go and see her again next week… www.justholistic.co.uk .
