Massage?

Isn't massage supposed to make you feel relaxed, like after a hot bath? I got a massage, asked for more pressure because it only felt like she was rubbing lotion on me, she said she can only add a little more pressure and it sucked. I didn't leave relaxed and my back & shoulders still hurt. Are all prenatal massages crappy? Seriously just paid to have a gal rub lotion on me, my guy can massage better than that and he had no training :/

Not too sure if massage is a good idea but someone I know who was pregnant and received a shoulder massage bleed right after. Not too sure if she had a miscarriage though.

So ladies it is safe to get a prenatal massage? I was going to book one but they had a waiver I had to sign with so many bad things that could happen ai got freaked out and never scheduled it. I could really use one. Hubby always falls asleep giving me one lol.

Yeh I'd say she was inexperienced too. I had a massage a few weeks ago, it was amazing and I felt really relaxed afterwards. Sorry it didn't help you this time, maybe try somewhere different? Is there anyone you know that can recommend someone? Best wishes :)

No, mine have been great. You of course have to have a prenatal massage but all that means is for them to avoid certain pressure points. She probably wasn't experienced.
