Meet Nom Nom - London, UK
I have had the pleasure of providing nutritional advice, massage, pregnancy massage, baby massage classes and weaning workshops for over a thousand women and their babies and Nom Nom has been inspired by them and developed with their feedback.
It became clear from talking to my clients that while they were as keen as me to avoid potentially harmful and irritating ingredients, especially during pregnancy and for their babies, they were confused about which skin care products were truly natural and organic. They also needed products which were gentle, effective, practical and a pleasure to use.
This inspired me to develop Nom Nom using my background, experience and specialist knowledge from training, research and my love of making natural skincare.
Strokes for the back can be given while you are seated backwards astride a chair, leaning forwards onto a pillow. If you prefer your can lie on your side with knees together and legs bent – place a pillow under your head and bump and get comfortable (you should choose this position if you have Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction). Your partner should begin by warming Relax oil in their hands and then massage up your back in long slow strokes with the flats of each hand sweeping around your shoulders and stroking back down your sides. For lower back tension in the third trimester your partner should massage with one hand on top of the other in a circular motion over your hips and buttocks in a figure of eight, using the heel or fingertips to massage more firmly into the buttock area. Then resting one hand gently on your shoulder and the other on top of your sacrum (the flat bone at the base of the spine) they should firmly but gently circle over this area with the heel of their hand. Finally they should stroke down the centre of your back one hand after the other in a flowing motion with each stroke lighter than the one before?..bliss!
Here’s how to eat for a better night’s sleep.
If your nightime is regularly disturbed by pregnancy heartburn you may benefit from eating smaller more frequent portions and eating your last meal at least a couple of hours before bedtime. Eating this way also helps to balance the hormones and transmitters which regulate sleep.
A carbohydrate rich dinner using wholegrains can increase the production of serotonin a calming neurotransmitter. To further boost your serotonin levels add poultry, dairy products, nuts, seeds, legumes, soy products, tuna and bananas to your diet as they are rich in tryptophan, an amino acid used in its production. Give these food combinations a try: chicken salad on whole wheat bread, nut butter and banana sandwich, banana and yoghurt/soy milk smoothie, prawn and egg fried brown rice, wholemeal pitta bread and humus.
If you’re frequently woken by leg cramps you may be low on calcium and magnesium which are important for their calming effect on nerves and muscles. Increase these by including dairy, nuts and green leafy vegetables.
Being well hydrated is important for a good night’s sleep but to avoid increasing the frequent nightime trips to the loo, which can become an issue in later pregnancy, try to get more of your water quota earlier in the day.
In addition to the above, caffeine should of course be avoided.
