Spa day during 2WW? What would you do?

Question

So I ovulated at some point in the last few days (opk's are giving me multiple days of positives, but my temp spiked today), and my birthday is this weekend. I have a spa day scheduled on Friday. 
​
​I'm not sure how or if this affects me if I'm possibly pregnant. I know first trimester massages are a no-no. But I can't test until at least the 25th or so. I'll be sure to limit my hot tub/sauna time to only a few minutes, but I'm not sure what to do about the deep tissue massage I have scheduled. I could switch it to a regular Swedish massage, or I could ditch it all together (SO sad!) and just do a facial or something else instead. 
​
Anyone know anything about if there are risks of doing a massage at this point?

Answer

You could even ask the masseuse (sp?) to avoid your tummy and lower back area?

Answer

Thanks Stephanie! I know it's safe during pregnancy, but I know most places won't do it during first trimester. I just don't want to do anything to jeopardize it we were lucky this month!

Thanks for the ideas on "excuses" too! My friends all know I've been doing weight watchers off and on for a while, so I can use the "I don't want to waste my points" one too. And I find that as long as I keep a drink in my hand, people don't notice when I'm nursing it.

Maybe for the spa I'll just switch to Swedish massage instead of the deep tissue so it's not so much on my body.

Answer

I've had massages whilst pregnant so enjoy it! Also had a couple of drinks before I found out I was preggers with my daughter. My friends have an eagle eye for spotting non drinkers when we're out so if you don't want to drink much maybe say the massage made you feel light headed already so you need water instead. Oh the excuses I've used before!!

Thanks Kimberly! We share the same birthday!! Happy birthday :-) hope you enjoy the weekend!

I will be limiting alcohol consumption quite a bit as well - which will be interesting with a group of people trying to push drinks at me all night. There are very few people who we have told that we are trying, so I'll be dodging some questions, I'm sure!

Answer

Take the risk while you can. It's be lovely. 
I might even steal your idea as it's my birthday this weekend also (18th).

Happy birthday and good luck.
