Prenatal massage

Has anyone here had a prenatal massage? Because I can't stand the pain in my neck and back, and I'm also scared to get one; I'm 18 weeks along.

Yes, I had them quite regularly when I was pregnant and they were super helpful in relieving aches and pains! Make sure you book with a massage therapist who is qualified in pregnancy massages - I would always call ahead and confirm. They should also ask how many weeks you are along and confirm your medical history / any issues etc. The massages are done while you’re lying on your side so there is no pressure on your bump/chest, and the place I went to provided cushions for in-between my knees and (as I got further along) to support my bump. Just go with your gut but if they are properly qualified they should put you at ease and address any worries you have so you can fully enjoy a little me time ☺️
