Relaxation massages can support the wellbeing of the expectant mother and her baby. Being pregnant and visiting Kur-Royal are therefore not mutually exclusive. Women who regularly use steam and vapour baths as well as sauna facilities experience fewer discomforts during pregnancy.

The tendency for fluid retention in the tissues is reduced through sauna sessions, and the risk of varicose veins decreases. In addition, the cardiovascular system is trained to adapt to changes in temperature, which can be beneficial immediately after childbirth. Sauna sessions can help the birth canal expand more easily during delivery, may reduce labour pains, and may shorten the duration of labour.

Sweating and increased kidney activity also support the body's natural detoxification processes, which can be particularly beneficial for the pregnant woman's body, as it must additionally process metabolic waste products from the developing baby.

Nervous tension, a typical companion during pregnancy, can be reduced through the positive effects on the nervous system. Steam and vapour baths as well as sauna bathing relax the muscles and mind, strengthen the body's defences, and lift the mood. Experts agree that pregnancy is not in itself a reason to avoid such facilities.

On the contrary: pregnant women can certainly benefit from the interplay of warmth and coolness. Vascular training, for example, can help the body flush out excess fluid from the tissues more quickly, reducing the tendency towards pregnancy-related fluid retention. The finishing touch: an easier and shorter birth. At least, this is what researchers in Finland claim. In the far north, the majority of pregnant women continue to use the sauna until shortly before giving birth. Ideally, regular visits should begin before pregnancy, so that the body becomes accustomed to the temperature changes.

In the event of health problems during pregnancy, a doctor should always be consulted. If there are serious illnesses or complications, it is advisable to avoid sauna sessions.*
