Abc, I AM. A Michigan girl trapped in north Mexico! Actually south Texas, I am 15 minutes from the border wall! If you watch border wArs on TV and look closelyā¦ You will see me waving!!! 
I grew up in northville Michigan. My brother went to U of M and I always went sking in Brighton:-) then I moved to Manhattan beach California for school. Loved itā¦ But missed Michigan. Itās unfortunate I ended up here! NOONE will ever come visit me! No one, ever!! I always have to go to them. I thought south padre being close would be a drawā¦ But itās not! Lololol

No deep tissue massage, either. Itās been a while, but the school I was in (I was a certified massage tech a long time ago) recommended no massage for the first 12 weeks, then you can go for prenatal massage after that by someone trained specifically in the technique. Make sure they are certified in massage therapy. They know what they can and canāt do and how to place your body not to hurt you as you get larger.
Honestly, I donāt think your husband giving you a gentle head rub will cause you to miscarry, but Iām no longer certified (by choice, I didnāt lose my license, my health wonāt permit me to do this as a job). So that is just my personal opinion. I wouldnāt go for a true full body massage. Whatever you do, avoid massaging the ankle area. There is an area in the back of the bone there that supposedly can trigger contractions (although Iāve never witnessed it). Once they tell you to stay away from there you tend to remember it.
Gosh, I feel like Iām going to scare you for nothing. I just wanted to let you know what I was taught at the time.
Enjoy this timeā¦ itās a wonderful time you wonāt forget. It is truly miraculous.

They didnāt tell you why they think they donāt stay? If itās the first 3 months, my girlfriendās doc told her it tends to be there was a genetic defect in the baby and the body miscarries, which may be true in general. I know when I almost lost my son it was because of a placental hematoma which was caused by my clotting disorder. Sometimes losses later in pg can be caused by incompetent cervix. If it has happened to you repeatedly and you donāt know why, you might want to look for the high risk ob/gyn. But donāt give up hope: even though I had 4 early losses, and that placental hematoma with my son, he is here and it was totally worth it!
I will keep praying for you. Take good care of yourself. Gentle hugsā¦

Massaging/touching the shoulders can also trigger contractions. As a yoga instructor, I had to constantly remember to NOT touch/caress shoulders while in the prenatal class. Itās such a natural place to touch someone, though.

Okay, I vote for looking up a high risk obgyn asap! Just to be on the safe side.

Wow, good to know, Amy. Any specific muscle group/area, or just avoid the whole thing in general? I never heard about this one before. But Iām old and my massage courses were eons ago (97). Back in 97, Iām not 97.

What do you mean āthey fixed meā? I have heard of cervixes being sewn shut with a type of stitch to support an incompetent cervix but that is done during the pregnancy each time and removed. You might want to contact your former ob/gyn to get your files ASAP so you can show it to the new doc.

OH! Learn something new every day. I would guess a shoulder touch/rub wouldnāt be as stimulating as acupuncture, but when dealing with repeated loss, better to be safe than sorry.
Seriously, there are a lot of women out there than have gone through a lot worse than ankle or shoulder rubs and everything was fine (car accidents, falls, etc.), but when we are more susceptible to loss, it is good to be careful.
If you are into yoga, Nikki, you can still do deep breathing. Lie down and place your hands on your tummy. Breathe in for a count of 5 through your nose, breathe out for a count of 5 through your mouth. Repeat until you feel calm, which a jumpy gal like yourself needs! Might be a nice way of starting your little lie down periods, so you can calm yourself down enough to enjoy the rest.

Glad you like it! 
Could be shortened to ālittle bunā or ābunā if youāre in a hurry. Which I guess happens a lot with youā¦
We used ālittle oneā until we found out it was a boy (which I already felt in my heart). Then we changed to ālittle guyā.
