first trimester massage?

Question

Hi mamas

Have any of you had an RMT perform a massage while in your first trimester?

I've heard to avoid it and I've heard that after ten weeks is okay.

I'm in desperate neee for you!

Answer

Asked my doc about this and it's more of a liability issue than anything. It doesn't cause a miscarriage but in the event that it occurs after you've had a massage, you could sue. But if you find places that will see you within the first 12 weeks, it's perfectly safe to let them give you a prenatal massage.

Answer

Usually they will not see you until you're in your second trimester. I had an appointment but had to cancel since I was pregnant now I'm getting a pregnancy massage soon.

Answer

I was pregnant earlier this year (ended in MC) and when I tried to get a massage, they refused unless I was 12 weeks. They said massages any earlier increase risk of miscarriage.
