Pregnancy massage?

    Can anyone recommend somewhere for a pregnancy massage? I've been looking at websites and notice some places don't have the maternity beds, which is a must! I really want to lie on my stomach and just relax.

    But I don't want to pay a fortune either :o
    South Dublin / Bray would be great!

    Sorry I've no recommendations - but I highly recommend pedicures, closer to the date! Nothing like having all attention focused on your feet after carrying such a heavy load around all day. :)

    The pretty nails in labour is only an added bonus!

    I haven't been able to reach my toes for a few weeks now. Will definitely be getting a pedicure! Thanks :)

    Just realised the irony of my username and posting about pedicures. :o

    I remember getting a pedicure about five days after my due date, and the person doing it asked for permission to set the vibrating massage setting going on the chair in case it would send me into labour. I'd a tiny bump so she thought I was nowhere near due date!

    Of course I insisted, and as it happened I went into labour the next day. So maybe there was something to that! :)

    It's probably a bit far for you but I had a pregnancy package in Brooklodge before which included a massage (on the table with the hole), pedicure, and facial - it was good value as a package. Plus the food there is amazing so I would highly recommend if you wanted to make a day of it!

    I've heard really nice things about that place! Thanks, I'll have a look.

    I found a pregnancy masseuse on Facebook who comes to your home, with a specialised table. Not sure how relaxing that would be though!!

    +1 for Brooklodge. I had a massage there before I had my first and it was so relaxing I went back when pregnant with number two. They have a special bed so you can lie on your tummy. I nearly fell asleep I was so chilled. And then you can have a nice rest in the relaxation area.

    Wow sounds great! Hopefully it's not too expensive now, although I think I'll pay anything to just feel completely relaxed :o
