My doctor said it was ok but everything I read says it's a no no. I waited just to be sure.

Yep, I got a prenatal massage. 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.
-
No. The place that I go to won't even do them for you until you're in the 2nd.
-
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.

@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.
-
@MrsF: for sure, I could see people blaming them.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!!!!
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
No, but got a prenatal massage in the second tri
-
Yes, I think it's silly to avoid massages. Places are too scared to touch you, though. I had a great one and felt fabulous!
