prenatal massage
DH got me a massage for my bday. Do I have to get a prenatal massage or are they only for women later in pregnancy that can't lie on their back or stomach? I will only be 9 weeks when I go do. TIA

Re: prenatal massage
I think you are supposed to wait until after the first trimester to get a massage.
Ask you Dr. If you do go...make sure you tell them you are preggo.

As a licenced massage therapist, I will tell you that massages are NOT recommended in your 1st trimester. Some places will ask for a note from your doctor regardless of which trimester you are in.
Prenatal massage means massage for pregnant women. It's not specific to a particular trimester.

Re: prenatal massage
Any place that I went to would not give you a massage until after you were 12 weeks pregnant. Sorry.
After that, I had hot stone prenatal massages and loved them. Try to find a place where they have a pregnant massage table so you can stick your belly through the table. They are much better than having to lay on your side.

Re: prenatal massage
I would call them and tell them your Dr advised against it and what other treatments could you swap it for
