Back massages?

edited January 2011 in Pregnant
My upper back has been killing me and I was wondering if it was safe to get a massage. Im 22 weeks.

  • Only if you get a maternity message. Most places offer them but you have to let them know. If not they can cause complications or even trigger labor early. So just be carefull! They are amazing though! Best ever!!

    I am a massage therapist and I do massages on preg women all the time you can have any kind of massage other than hot stone. Just make sure you let your therapist know how far along you are. there are a few pressure points that can start labor but only on your feet and hands. some even have special pillows so you can lay facedown other wise you will be on your side. Hope this helps and you feel better. :)
  • Oh yeah one more thing you can get some tennis balls and have some1 massage your back while in labor I did it for a friend of mine that didn't want any pain meds but was having really bad back labor
  • Thank y'all so much.
