massage in first trimester?? freaking out😩

Question

I'm Almost 11 weeks pregnant & my husband just gave me a pretty deep leg massage & afterwards I had a bad thought & started googling if it was okay😥 apparently it's not... has anyone ever had a massage in the first trimester & everything been fine? Or know someone that has?

The one time I don't over stress & just go with it😩

Answer

There are so so so many opinions on this. So many people say it won't affect you, and that its all a myth, and others have many different opinions on it. I would just check with your doctor to make sure everything's okay, which I'm sure you will be.

Answer

I had a full spa treatment at 5 months and they said they definitley do not do them durung the first trimester.

Answer

My husband and mom gave me massages and I'm fine almost 5 months now

Answer

You're fine.

I got a massage at 10 weeks and was just fine. I was at massage envy though.

Now in 34 weeks and just got an epic back massage from my husband. I'm not worried at all

Answer

Hmmmm why do they say a leg massage would be bad? Just curious, I've never heard that

Answer

I've been having regular massage (1-2 times a month) for over a year including early pregnancy (I'm now 25 weeks with a perfectly healthy baby!).  It's fine.  There are certain spots that should be avoided but honestly if it was really that easy for a massage to cause a miscarriage then massage therapists would be rolling in the 'abortion' money.

Answer

Im a massage therapist, and you're perfectly fine! We are adviced to only give massages past the second trimester, not because its dangerous before that, the spas just dont want to be blamed for any miscarriages. A full on reflexology(foot) massage is not recommended though, unless youre at the end of your pregnancy and want to try to induce labour.

Answer

I didn't let my husband because my friend does prenatal massages and said they aren't allowed in the first trimester... good thing I hate massages.
