Prenatal Massage?

I purchased a couples massage gift certificate for DH and I for Valentines Day. I can't decide if we should use it before the babies arrive or after.  Have many of you enjoyed a prenatal massage this late in your multiples pregnancy?  It seems like it would be uncomfortable to lay (on my side I assume) for an hour.  I have never had a prenatal massage so maybe I am completely off.

    I enjoyed them but I think it definitely depends on the person.  You will be sore after the babies are born too, and may have to wait a few weeks till your belly doesn't hurt when you lay on it (it didn't take long....I am a tummy sleeper and couldn't wait to go back to that!).  I had a few prenatal and a massage 1 month postpartum.  If you think you would be uncomfortable, wait :)

    Go for it now!! I think I had one at 34 weeks and it was wonderful. Yep, you'll be on your sides. I'm sure you're probably uncomfortable all the time, but a good body rub will take your mind off of it just for a little while. Do it! Do it! Do it!

    I had one around 30 weeks, and it was sooo nice.  I wasn't uncomfortable at all.

    I was able to get one every two weeks (drs orders) with my second pregnancy every 2 weeks for almost 2 months. I just laid on my side and they had me switch to the other mid way through. You will feel sooo  much better after one.

    I had one at about 30 weeks or so and it was the BEST DECISION EVER. It was amazing.

    I had them every 2 weeks until I went on bed rest at 28 weeks.  I loooove massages.  They helped a lot with my back and hip pain.  You'll lay on your side, but I mean, that's how I sleep anyway so it's not uncomfortable or anything.
