    @MamaK225 You don't have to find one that specializes in it, but it's better to. A lot of massage therapists are trained at least somewhat in prenatal massage, but not all because many states do not require that MTs have a license/certification. For example, in California, certification is voluntary. However, MTs can train specifically in prenatal massage. Those with prenatal massage certification have proven that they have expertise related to the use of massage therapy on pregnant clients. Hope this helps! 
    People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

    How I feel all of the time.

    @MamaK225 I was an RMT before I had DD and I took courses for prenatal massage. It's honestly not that different then regular massage. With a few extra contraindications (no massage if you have high blood pressure and no deep pressure or heat on the lower back are the main ones). Just mention you are pregnant and looking for prenatal massage and ask if they have pregnancy pillows or table when you are making your Appointment. If you are concerned wait until your second trimester, but you should be fine.

    @mrsrebeccacampbell - Thanks for that info, that makes sense.

    Never have I ever ridden/rode (?) a unicycle.

    Me - anovulatory, non-Insulin PCOS, DH - low end of "normal" sperm count
       IUI#1   - 02/15 - Cancelled due to scrubbed sperm count <1MM
       IVF#1  - 08/15 - 13x5-day blastocysts (ranging from AA-BB, most are 5 or 6), not PGS, on ice
       FET#1 - 10/15 - 1 emb - BFP (DD 07/16) (estrace + PIO sesame oil + prometrium)
       FET#2 - 07/17 - 1 emb - BFN (estrace + PIO sesame oil + prometrium)

       FET#4 - 10/17 - 2 emb - BFN (changed to estrace + prometrium because of allergic reaction to PIO sesame oil)
