My husband got me a prenatal spa package (Bless his heart) and I was wondering when is the best time to do that? What's safe, I guess, is my big question.
They lay you on your side, right? Is it still just as wonderful as being face down? I have a gift card to a spa and was thinking of using it when I get really sore and swollen.
They had me on my side with a body pillow and then switched to the opposit side. I liked it a lot better than traditional massaged on my front. Always felt like I was drooling on the floor. Lol
I had one at 15 weeks and it was AMAZING! I had the massive pillow that has room for your tummy and boobs. I was also raised to an incline when I was on my back so it was more like sitting up or reclining.
I get one every 2 weeks. As long as your massage therapist is licenced in prenatal it is safe to go anytime. Also, they do an "induction" massage around your due date which I plan on having because I'm due Dec 17th and I don't want a late Christmas baby!!!
I was going to save my prenatal massage gift certificate from my husband until my 3rd trimester but I'm having so much back pain, I'm doing it in a few days when I'll be 19 weeks. Maybe I'll be so relaxed afterwards that he'll buy me another one in a few months!
