Free neck and shoulder massage - can i have it?`

[Kitt3n]

We are being given neck and shoulder massages today at work - being 22 weeks can I have this or do I have to decline?

I don't see why you couldn't provided they don't push any accupressure points, but even then they would have to be pretty good at it for it to cause any probs.

Like Cai said, as long as they don't press any pressure points. just let them know you're pg, and they know what not do to. But being neck and shoulders, you should be relatively safe anyway.

As a (almost qualified - in 5 weeks) massage therapist i would say no actually. If the person isn't qualified in actual pregnancy massage, it should be avoided. There are induction points in your shoulders which typically a neck and shoulder massage focus around. If they can do like a scalp, face & hand massage instead take that, but otherwise i would say no, and go and get one done by somebody trained in pregnancy massage.

Your choice completely, just saying what my experience is telling me.
