Back massagers?

Question

I am 20 weeks pregnant and having the worst low back pain.  I’ve been trying to do anything to fix it.  My husband has a muscle massager that we decided to try on me tonight and it felt heavenly! 
After the fact, I started wondering if it was safe to use a massager on my low back and legs to try and get some relief? 
Can I hurt baby? Or cause other issues?

Answer

Try visiting the chiropractor too!

Answer

Totally safe. I have used one my whole pregnancy. If you can swing it I also highly recommend getting a professional massage, it saved me because I’ve suffered back pain this whole time and after I get a massage my back doesn’t bother me as much for almost 2 weeks and I just use the home massager in between. I cleared this all with my doctor too. A warm bath also does wonders!!

Answer

Technically there is things to suggest that it could send you into labor but idk if that's true. I read that online when pregnant and decided against it. A licensed massage therapist might be a better idea. Or ask your doc about the massager!
