Having your partner assist you with massage can also help to bring the two of you closer together and reassure him that he does have an important role in your pregnancy. Besides bringing you closer to your partner, massage can also help with many of the common complaints of pregnancy.
Massage is also very beneficial in labor and postpartum.
