Fertility Massages For Women Trying to Conceive

This is not an easy subject to talk about but I felt it still is a much needed one. Of late, I have many friends having their first child, and at the same time, many who have gone through miscarriages. 

Many of you know that I personally have had two back-to-back ectopic pregnancies resulting in salpingectomy, the removal of both of my fallopian tubes. When it first happened, I was like what? What’s an ectopic pregnancy? I have only heard of it once and know one person who went through it. I spent hours researching globally and there was just a sheer lack of information. 

Fast forward to today, I was recently introduced to Angelia, the Founder of Babies Bliss, who not only specialises in fertility massage, but is a walking encyclopedia on all things fertility. Call it paying it forward, but I felt a need to highlight what she does, in case she can help anyone of you reading this. 

What made you decide to launch Babies Bliss? 

Angelia: At the inception of Babies Bliss, I identified a clear gap in holistic treatments that could bridge Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practices. This gap left many seeking comprehensive solutions instead of the usual needles, medications, and rigid diets. 

Babies Bliss was born to offer a nurturing and compassionate approach to these challenges, focusing on a holistic lifestyle rather than just conventional methods. I strongly believe that a significant portion of these challenges stem from anxiety and stress, hindering optimal performance and results. 

In recent years, we have seen an increase in individuals seeking both conventional methods and holistic approaches, combining TCM with fertility therapy at Babies Bliss.

What is a fertility massage? 

Angelia: A fertility massage is a type of massage that is aimed at improving the fertility and health of the reproductive organs. It is all natural with supposed benefits that include improved abdominal health, reproductive health and menstrual cycle. Babies Bliss fertility strengthening massage combines acupressure, reflexology, and lymphatic drainage techniques paired with specially blended oil.

Who are the ideal candidates for fertility massages?

Angelia: Ladies who are preparing for conception, with IUI/IVF/Egg Freezing in plan.

How important is diet for improving fertility?

Angelia: Your diet plays a crucial role in fertility and reproductive health for both men and women. A balanced and nutritious diet promotes hormone balance, supports healthy egg and sperm development, and enhances overall reproductive function.

Are there any other areas/ factors women who are trying to conceive should pay more attention to? 

Angelia: Knowing their reproductive health such as your hormones levels (AMH level), menstrual cycle, ovulation plays an important factor to identify when is their fertile window. 

Have you helped any woman who has had a misscarriage or ectopic pregnancy? 

Angelia: I had a client aged 34 who attempted IUI and IVF thrice each, with recurrent pregnancy losses. After the course of our program, she managed to conceive naturally and delivered a healthy baby.

Another client was a 37 year old, with 3 pregnancies loss including ectopic resulting in salpingectomy of one fallopian tube. She proceeded to do IVF and was unsuccessful twice. Prior to her third IVF attempt, she started her journey with Babies Bliss and had a healthy baby.

We have asked a lot of questions about women, what about the men? What can men do to improve the quality of their sperm?

Angelia: Avoid wearing tight trousers or underwear. Strike a balance between excessive ejaculation and prolonged abstinence. Antioxidants such as vitamin c, e and selenium are known to help. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is also available for men at Babies Bliss.

Babies Bliss is by appointment only and is located at #04-37A, Plaza Singapura, 238839.
