Is it safe to have a back and foot massage while pregnant?

Q: A couple nights a week my hubby will be nice and rub my back and feet for me because they start hurting a lot from being pregnant. I just heard that a back massage can cause miscarriage and a foot massage can cause preterm labor. Are either of these true? Now I am freaking out because I usually have my hubby do both like 2-3 times a week!

A: well im 22 weeks pregnant hun and my fiance always gives me back massages and i mentioned it to my midwife and she didnt bat an eyelid so if this was true i think they would have mentioned it at some point so go ahead enjoy it while you can :))but if your really concerned talk to your midwife but im sure its fine 🙂 xxxxx

Can You Get Pedicures While Pregnant?

Q: I know most people do, but I have a friend who is a massage therapists and said they learned in school pregnant women should not have their feet massaged as there are pressure points than can cause serious things like early on in pregnancy miscarriage and in the later stages cause preterm labor or the baby to turn. Anyone heard of this? And or Do you Get pedicures while pregnant? THANKS!!!

A: Interestingly, they are right, BUT the certain pressure point they speak of is somewhere around the ankle. Just let the pedicurist know not to massage the ankles. The spot, if stimulated, can cause contractions. (It is a very small point, so you really have nothing to worry about, and it is a small chance anyway! ) The other pressure point you need to worry about is the spot just above the web between thumb and pointer finger. Massaging this spot can also cause contractions. During pregnancy this spot is sore, like a writers cramp.

Weird question?

Q: Ok my niece is in beauty college and was told that there is a nerve in a womans foot, specifically a pregnant woman that can cause a miscarriage. SHe was told that they should not give peticures to pregnant women. Thi sounds like a bunch of bunk to me. My husband massages my feet and I had a peticure when I was 32 weeks. Like I said this sounds like complete bunk, I have never heard this before have any of you??

A: There is a pressure point on a woman’s foot that can cause a woman in late pregnancy to go into labor, but not miscarry. It’s actually on the achilles tendon.
