I am a recent transfer from Florida to Kentucky... and Certified in Prenatal massage for years.. I have often throught that prenatal massage should be offered to the brave women giving their babies up for adoption. It should be part of the "package" so to speak.. I believe that it should be part of their medical expences. Happy pregnant bio mom, happy, healthy baby. Period. Just something to think about.
