is it safe to have back and shoulder massages when you are 27 - 28 weeks pregnant?

ooooh, yes - should be obligatory. Make sure any oils they put on are safe though!

how do they do this though usually before pregnancy i would lie on my front, i cant do that now?

It's finding someone that does pregnancy massage.

Where are you based?

I'm in the wrong game. These jokers are selling a bleedin plastic egg for hoooow much and saying it'll give you energy. Is that a money back offer per chance??!!

Oh so sorry, last post was put onto wrong thread! Sorry!

Thy can massage you with you on your side. Just ask for the carrier oil with nothing added (i.e. fragrance free) and you'll be fine.

I had massages all through my pregnancy and it was bliss!

My therapist was trained in pregnancy massage and she had a special body cushion with a belly hole. You lay face down on top of the cushion and your bump was supported the whole time. So it was a proper back massage.

A friend of mine is a trained masseur (sp!?) and she did mine at about 27 weeks. I sat facing forward on a chair with cusions and it was bliss!! She had been trained in pg massaging and was careful about what oils to use...
