Elders: WWYD? Massage

laurenrobbie

I got a gift cert for Christmas for a prenatal massage. I had one back in 2nd tri and it was wonderful! Of course, I'd love to use my gift cert now, but I know I'm just going to get more uncomfortable so I want to wait and use it when it will be most beneficial.

Do you think there is a time you will be "too" big and uncomfortable to enjoy a massage? I want to hear from some of you that are further along and see what week you think would be best. TIA!

I got one last Saturday and it was awesome! They gave me as many pillows as I wanted and a big body pillow to hold on to as I was on my side. I definitely recommend it at this stage...

ETA: I got mine in Nov as an anniversary gift and waited until I was 9 months because I knew I'd need it and I'm really glad I waited!

I got mine around 32 weeks. To be honest once LO dropped I was much more comfortable, have to pee more but there's less pressure on my back.

I had one at 30 weeks.  And, I'm having one this Saturday (almost 35 weeks)....love it!

I had one at 37w5 days.  It was heavenly. Plenty of pillows to prop up on and drink water before and after, don't have a big meal before it.  My massage was very gentle and relaxing.  It was nice to "get out of my head" for an hour. If you typically like massage in general, I think it's very beneficial physically and mentally.

I've gone a couple of times, and it's awesome. I would go now, then if you love it, you can go again before your due date.

I had one at about 34 weeks and it was amazing. I probably could have waited until now and still enjoyed it. Either way it will be wonderful.
