This is a total newbie question....
I have a massage scheduled for next week. Is this something I need to be asking my doctor if it's okay to do? I would assume it's fine but when I did a quick google search, there seem to be answers all over the place.

cake, I would just make sure that you are getting a prenatal massage and that they have you lay on your side. I had a lot last pregnancy and just had one around 7 weeks this time. I did email my doctor since I've switched doctors for this pregnancy and they said it's fine as long as I wasn't having any complications.

I would just mention it to your massage therapist and if you are still comfortable lying on your belly you should be fine! Enjoy it!

Thanks ladies! I think I'll just call the massage therapist before I go to make sure she's okay with it. If she is, then I am.

I just had one this week and it was wonderful!
As for a prenatal massage to avoid certain trigger/pressure points. I had the option of lying on my stomach since I was only 5 weeks.

Thanks for posting this, I've been meaning to schedule one! Just let the massage therapist know ahead of time. Mine offers pillows etc to get you comfortable during pregnancy but this early many of us would still be ok on our tummies.
