I enjoy massages from my husband, but I can't imagine anything more stress provoking than being touched by strangers.
I am really good at muscle relaxation on my own though. While I was taking Lamaze, there was a guided imagery progressive muscle relaxation. The instructor would come around and check to see how well you're doing. My husband and I would have so much fun because I could get totally relaxed immediately. He'd try to find tense spots, the instructor would, no go.
It makes getting shots waaay easier.
(By the way, does anyone ever wonder why they give you eight weeks of Lamaze training just for the labor, but don't give you any instructions at all on what to do with the baby?)
