Learn how to adjust your table or add bolstering to accommodate prenatal clients who are experiencing acid reflux or heartburn.
Many pregnant women will experience heartburn and acid reflux during pregnancy, as fetal development expands upwards and outwards, which physically pushes the stomach superiorly into the esophagus. The relaxin hormone further relaxes the esophagus sphincter valve which allows the backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus, which is exasperated by lying flat in the side-lying position during prenatal massage.
