Flotation baths are a great idea for expecting mothers.

Flotting becomes a wonderful solution to alleviating this uncomfortable state. The expecting woman can be freed from all this weight for an hour and, consequently the accumulated muscle soreness  will disappear.

Visualisation of the delivery: The flotation bath is a wonderful help to the mother to be. It can help her to visualise the event to come: the delivery. The flotation bath is a natural way for the futur mother to prepare herself and to visualise the delivery of her baby. It is a complement to alternative medicines and to the various relaxation techniques used during pregnancy such as acupuncture, hypnosis and various others. 

The flotation bath: a metaphor of the womb: For one hour the expecting woman can experience what the world of the child inside her is like: perfect warmth in a weightless water world. This becomes a wonderful occasion to have a "chat" with the baby she does not yet know but for whom her love grows with every passing month. 

Babys are sensitive to their mothers stress and wellbeing: The feeling of wellbeing and of ultimate relaxation felt by the futur mother after a flotation bath has positive repercussions on her child as this child is highly attuned to his mother's general emotional state.  

Taming physical changes: Because the flotation bath enhances physical consciousness it becomes an ideal moment for the futur mother to tame the changes to her body that incur during pregnancy.

In addition, Epsom Salt increases blood and lymphatic circulation both excellent in countering the oedema suffered by many woman during pregnancy.
