Going for my 1st ever facial tommorrow...What should I expect ??
Never had one done before 
I am almost 10 weeks pregnant so I'm not sure if that will change things at all...
Following it up with a 1 hour massage 
Dumb question but- What should I expect to happen ?
Thanks !!!

You are doing to really enjoy it, its very relaxing and you can see a difference in your skin when they are finished. I had a lot of blackheads which they took off (a little uncomfy but worth it). they blast steam in your face, they exfoiliate it, moisturize it etc...
Enjoy!!

You will love it.
Be sure to tell the salon/clinic that you are pregnant. Not sure if you should have certain things on your face or certain massages.
Consult your doc as well.
But aside from that, once you get over the fact that someone is touching you (totally fine) it's a dream.
Have fun.

For your massage, you may have to have a note from your dr saying its ok to get a massage. Make sure you tell them you're pregnant!!!

Thanks for thinking of me
It went good
I'm breaking out a little now, but she told me that would happen...
A "little" discomfort but nothing that would stop me from doing it again
The only thing I didn't like (with both the facial and the massage) is that they were "talkers" ! Talked to me the WHOLE time...How bad am I that I would rather have only a little conversation and then silence ??!
Overall, it was great though !!

Yeah, sometimes I like that and sometimes I just want silence. When you book your next one request that there be minimal talking.

I don't think I would have minded so much but the masseuse started to tell me a very tragic story about her 31 year old SIL who passed away (brain tumor) last month leaving behind 2 children under 2.5 who were conceived with IVF

Re: Going for my 1st ever facial tommorrow...What should I expect ??
Yeah...definately not relaxing !
She was a really sweet girl, and obviously I told her I was PG ...Some how it went into how I conceived with IVF and the rest is history
On a side note, she told me how she was 17 WEEKS pregnant with her DS when she found out she was pregnant She was on a BC patch and it obviously failed...She continued to get AF but started to notice some body changes...Went to the Dr. thinking maybe she was 1 or 2 months along...They did a sono and she was 17 weeks The baby was flipping around ! She then had him early at 34 weeks !
Wild right ??

Sounds like a topic for a TLC Documentary "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant (till 17wks)"
