Pre-Natal Massage

Currently 35 weeks and going strong EXCEPT for the lower back pain, cramping in the legs, swollen feet and hands/wrist.

In deparate need of a massage, so can anyone recommend a spa, day-spa in the Garden City area or Manhattan that offer great pre-natal massages? I'm considering Spa Nordstrom's prenatal massage (found a few reviews) or Oasis Day Spa.

Any previous experiences and/or reviews is helpful!

The Elizabeth Arden Red Door spa is in Garden city. You have to check if they do prenatals massage, but I went there before I was PG and they were wonderful!!

Had one at red door garden city- it was great- they massage you in an inclined position and then on your side-

they even offer but dont advertise and free makeup refresher after- it was a nice treat!

I am getting mine done at Nordstrom this weekend. But they do book up very far in advance so it may be difficult to get an appointment. Originally when I called 2 weeks ago she told me the first available appointment was June. When I told her my due date was May 30th she then squeezed me into an earlier appointment. So if you want to go with Nordstrom I would call them tomorrow and see what they can do.

I currently live in GC and wound up going to Joseph Christopher in Bellmore. I loved thier pre-natal massage. I was 25 weeks when I got it done. Amazing!!

Re: Pre-Natal Massage

Hmmm...I'm 38 weeks today and do you think it's too late for a massage now? I'm only 1 cm dilated now from my appt. last nite.

But i did go to Unique Threading & Salon, 727 Sixth Ave., 2nd FL., NYC, 212-929-1410 (http://www.yelp.com/biz/unique-threading-salon-new-york#hrid:gnzUAfmX6y6nYiYH5-Yqsg/query:unique%20threading) for Eyebrow Threading and it cost me only $6! And i tipped her $3 for a great job!

And I got my nails done at The Beautiful Nail Place across the street from Dr. Hanauer's office (72 E. Old Country Road, Mineola, 516-873-6527. M-W Mani-Pedi for $22, got a french done for both at $31, but the polish is chipping already! Might have to go back into Queens to my usual nail salon in Fresh Meadows.

Also got a much needed hair cut in CHinatown from Ray at V2 Beauty Salon, 153 Hester St
(between Bowery & Elizabeth St)
New York, NY 10013
(212) 226-7690 (http://www.yelp.com/biz/v-2-beauty-salon-new-york#hrid:IhaaCOKqjBPWdMUrCy1wYA/query:v%20salon) Haircut cost me $28 and he was awesome, snipped away like a madman.

Now just need a massage! Love Yelp.com for reviews!
