Places are too scared to touch you, though. I had a great one and felt fabulous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-857391 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 23:28:14 +0000 jh524 857391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but got a prenatal massage in the second tri </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-857311 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 22:37:38 +0000 singingbee 857311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. It was a prenatal one. I was about 10 weeks and it made a big difference in how I was feeling. I had horrible sciatic nerve pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-857288 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 22:26:14 +0000 fancyfunction 857288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I had tried to and was relaxing in the robe and everything, but when I told the masseuse that I was pregnant, they wouldn't let me have one done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-857283 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 22:23:42 +0000 lovebird 857283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to on out babymoon in cancun and the spa wouldn't let me cuz I was 13 weeks along. I was barely even showing and should have just not said anything. I think a prenatal one should be okay, especially if you aren't putting too much pressure on your belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-856665 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:00:44 +0000 MrsStormy 856665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, at 10 weeks, it was a prenatal massage. My Dr. okayed it as did the massage place. They both said it was a liability issue of people blaming the massage for miscarriage, but that there was no reason to believe that it actually could cause miscarriage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-856647 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:56:54 +0000 PurplePeony 856647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did at about 11 weeks. We were on vacation and got a couple's massage in the beachfront cabanas, aaahhh. They had no problem with it, I just had to sign the standard waiver form. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-856303 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:57:12 +0000 lilteacherbee 856303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. One of my best friends is the manager of a Massage Envy in our area and they won't let you until you're in your 2nd trimester because of people who might try to blame a miscarriage on the massage. I'm totally going to use my friend discount soon though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-856299 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:56:30 +0000 Bookish 856299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>now that I think about it... Mine was probably when I was right after my first trimester... I used a gift card that I got for xmas, when I was 12w. I'm sorry, preggo brain!!!! :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-856298 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:55:54 +0000 matador84 856298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did but I didn't know I was pregnant. I had some pretty major bleeding the next week but ill never know what caused it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-856296 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:55:36 +0000 Lindsay05 856296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. I did and didnt even consider that they wouldnt! They definitely did for me! They made me sign a sheet to cover their butts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-856287 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:53:13 +0000 Andrea 856287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: for sure, I could see people blaming them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-856282 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:52:18 +0000 MrsF 856282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Same. My assumption was that miscarriages are so common in the first tri that they just don't want to have any coincidences where the massage could be blamed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-856277 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:50:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 856277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I was too paranoid. Any place that I've gone won't do them in the first trimester anyway. I had one in the second trimester and it was awesome and I plan to get another one between now and baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-856276 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:50:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 856276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I was too paranoid.

Other than being really awkward because the pillow they had me lay on smooshed my boobs, it was fine. I got PT massages from early on until a couple weeks ago as well for tension headaches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-a-massage-in-the-first-trimester#post-855303 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:45:00 +0000 heffalump 855303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor said it was ok but everything I read says it's a no no. I waited just to be sure. </p>
