massages

How late in your pregnancy is it okay to get a massage?

DH and I are going away in 3 weeks to our favorite place upstate that has a spa and we usually get massages there.

Additionally, my dad said he would pay for me to get a massage at Bliss.

I am 29 weeks. Do you think its possible to do both of these or should i just schedule the bliss massage for sometime soon and skip getting a massage on my trip?

With my last pregnancy I went for a massage at 36 weeks. It was heaven! I needed it with all the aches and pains that come towards the end.

Enjoy!

Re: massages

you can get a massage anytime after the first trimester.

I got a massage at 40 weeks (a few days ago) and it was LOVELY!

your masseuse will need to have a separate set-up, not a special table or anything but special pillows. at 40 weeks I only lay on my side. . I think up until about 30, she had a pillow with space for my belly but then it got too big!

Re: massages

oh, I know its okay to get them and have gotten one already and it was heaven.

I am not looking forward to the laying on my side thing, is that awkward? the last one i got i was able to use the special pillow which was really nice.

I was looking for reassurance that there was nothing wrong with getting two massages rather close together. like at 32 weeks and then at like 35 weeks?

Re: massages

Nothing wrong with getting massages that close together, if you wanted to you, you could go weekly, even daily. Enjoy the relaxation. The place I went had a hole in the table for my belly. It was pretty comfortable.

Re: massages

oh sorry - misunderstood - I have been getting them weekly and feel like I would have been happy to have them daily!

Also I have been so relaxed on the side lying ones I've dozed off more than once!
