Massage chair during pedicure?

in 2nd Trimester

I really want to go get a pedicure, like right this minute.  Last time I went, someone made a comment about me using the massage chair.   I hadn't really thought about it before that - I mean DH rubs my back all the time.

Are you still using the massage chair?

    I've always hated the massage chair... I've not ever used it. ?Just make sure it's on a light setting. ?If you need a little more pressure in a certain area, either lean into it, or increase the pressure in that area for a little while. ?

    I would... go and enjoy it.  You can adjust the pressure so just stick with something you feel comfortable with and you should be just fine.

    Oh yeah, go for it. I got one last week and have the massage on high. Heavenly. The guy doing my foot massage did it really light which was disappointing, but I know it's safer for me.

    I haven't heard that using a massage chair is bad, i have had a pedicure  every two weeks and had the chair wobbling about behind me, my LO actually likes it and kicks harder if the chair stops moving!

    I don't usually turn the massage on anyway, but I also had a lighter foot massage last time I got a pedicure. I think she was saying something about pressure points and nausea? I was so relaxed I was half asleep so I didn't really catch what she said.

    when my sister was pregnant, she tried to use the chair and my niece was not having it so she had to turn it off.

    My lower back is feeling a little uncomfotable right now and I have made a chro appt on monday. When I went in for my pedi it felt kind of weird and I decided to change the option to upper back and neck with heavy pressure.

    I'm sure its totally fine you are a little further along.  I used the massage chair at 11 weeks and had spotting the next morning.  The Dr. was not sure it was the cause but she told me to stay away from it (turns out my placenta is very low) So although I LOVE it, I'm staying away.
