A couple of friends recommended post-natal massage, offered by the Bodywork Clinic. I picked up a brochure at the hospital and about a week after being home gave them a call.
I purchased the basic package which was 8 sessions of 75 minutes of head to toe massage followed by a binding of the Javanese wrap. The masseuse came to my home, and the massage was wonderful. It was a back massage, arm massage, leg massage, and even a head massage! The oils they used were quite strong smelling, and Joe didn't like them so much, but they didn't seem to bother Martin.
The Javanese wrap consisted of a grainy potion rubbed on my belly, and then wrapping it in a long cloth. You leave it on for 4-8 hours. It is supposed to shrink your stomach size, tone up your belly and help you lose weight. The masseuse kept asking me if I thought it was working. Well, I already had lost all the baby weight. Plus I lost quickly with Oliver, so I can't say if the wrap helped or not.

But the massage was wonderful, and I'm going to miss it. I felt so "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" with her coming to my house every day for a massage.
And if you are wondering what Martin did during the massage. He slept.
