Since I'm considered high-risk should I ask the OB before I book a prenatal massage? I would think they would okay it knowing that my cervix is measuring well and the baby is looking great, but should I check to be sure?
I would definitely check with them before it. ?I can't remember all of the conditions, but there are a number that contraindicate massage in pregnancy.
I would check because even at the day spa I get my pedicures at, they made me sign a form about being pregnant (there are labor triggers all over the body). I am planning to go there for a pre-natal massage too. I am waiting until the end of my pregnancy though.
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
I would also be careful of what massage therapist you see. Don't go to just one of those day spas. Get a real full-fledged therapist who understands the trigger points for pregnancy.

All massage therapists are licensed to practice in NC, but not all are licensed in prenatal massage. Check with your OB first for the medical perspective, and look for a therapist who is licensed in prenatal and let her or him know what your OB has said. ENJOY!!!
