Pre-conceptual care is preparing body, mind and spirit for the miracle of conceiving, developing and birthing your baby.
Sub-fertility or infertility is a term used if conception has not occurred after 12 months of trying to conceive. Medical tests may have shown that there is nothing wrong with either you or your partner (unexplained infertility) or you may already have a child (secondary infertility). The ability to conceive depends on many different factors, but it is essential that both of you are in optimum health to enable this to happen. Some of those factors can include:
long working hours
poor diet or 'convenience' foods
high alcohol consumption
too much or not enough exercise
smoking
stress
Fertility reflexology works on an emotional and physical level, aiming to ease away stress and tension. Relaxation through reflexology may make you feel more positive, relaxed and sleep better.
However it is essential to consult your GP or consultant for any symptoms you may have, reflexology is complementary to conventional medicine and is not a replacement. It cannot guarantee a pregnancy, unblock fallopian tubes, treat chlamydia or cure endometrioses. It can however create a healthier environment for a possible pregnancy to occur by reducing stress levels, improving sleep patterns and encouraging a general feeling of well being.
