For those of you who treat pregnant women, what signs can u see on the feet to suggest the client is pregnant? i have quite a few friends/clients pregnant/looking to conceive and wanted to know if you could tell that they are pregnant without them telling you.
RE: pregnant feet
Hi Rahkee
Have you got Susanne Enzer's maternity reflexology book? She talks about it in there. Personally I haven't yet been able to spot definitivelywhen someone is first pregnant though you're supposed to be able to see a little sort of comma shaped bump on one of the feet in the uterus reflex zone. As the pregnancy grows and moves up into the abdomen from the pelvis you can subtly feel the pregnancy in the abdominal areas of the foot - I use the side of my thumb to scan gently up and down. But none of it is blindingly obvious! Maybe I'm just not very observant 😀 I was however working on a client very close to giving birth and I noticed how the pregnancy seemed to have shifted down from the abdomen back into the pelvis.
RE: pregnant feet
i did, i did!!! i couldnt say at the time cos it was really early days and unfortunately, the pregnancy wasnt to be:o(. but i saw it, within a very short time, and then it was gone, and it wasnt appropriate to say then either.
and yes, as pregnancy progresses, there is quite a "bump", i find on both feet, just above uterus point, into abdominal cavity.
RE: pregnant feet
Rakhee, are you a member of the Association of Reflexologists? My copy of Reflexions came today and blow me, there was a 2 page review of a seminar Susanne Enzer did for the AoR. It details what to look for in pregnant feet!
