  i think as long as its a prenatal massage, and after you drink ridiculous amounts of water.

  I would just be sure to mention it to the person doing the massage, and don't let them touch your feet.

  A lot of places indicate that they do prenatal massage. You must come back and tell me where you go. I think I will be there right after you and a massage is on my agenda.

  Yes, it is safe. Just make sure they know you are pregnant.

  My doctor said no to prenatal massage until after 1st tri. The spa I went to wouldn't do them until after 16 weeks, so....

  I've been getting them since 14 weeks.  My doctor even recommended due to headaches.  Ask your doctor, you also might need a note, a lot of places require that.  If your doc says ok, ask for a note and enjoy your vaca!!!

  I went to get a massage, and here's what I was told...  As with anything, I think there's different opinions out there, so you may want to ask your dr.

   

  -No massages during first tri

  -After first tri, make sure it is a prenatal and as the PP indicated, drink lots of water.  The reason it has to be a prenatal is that there are pressure points that can stimulate uterine contractions, and also, the massage person should know how to position you during the massage (lying on your back or stomach isn't really an option).

  I had one a few weeks ago and now I wish I could get one weekly.  It was amazing and I highly recommend that you book one on your vacation.  It's worth every penny!

  I also thought I read that you shouldn't get them in the 1st tri.

  I'd check with your doctor just to be safe, if she says it's okay you may even want to get a note from her just in case.

  No massage first tri as pps have said.  The spa I went to even told me they won't do it before first tri.  I went about 2 weeks ago for the first time and it was heaven.
