2nd Trimester – Pregnancy


Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Normally women are seen on an as needed basis during the second trimester. Any of the following symptoms that arise in the second trimester are often treated with TCM:

  • Headaches
  • Constipation
  • Pre-eclampsia
  • Hypertension
  • Back pain
  • Call with any other symptoms that arise and talk to one of our practitioners

Mayan Abdominal Massage (MAM):

Mayan Abdominal Massage (MAM) is suggested after 19 weeks of pregnancy. MAM is excellent for insuring good blood supply to the fetus.. Here is a list of symptoms MAM can help with:

  • Abnormally frequent urination
  • Weak tingling legs
  • Ligament discomfort
  • The desire to lift your belly when walking
  • Constipation
  • Pain while sitting

Mind / Body Therapy

Some clients take the second trimester off from mind/body therapy, especially if they are having a healthy and relatively stress-free pregnancy.
