Can massage be done in the early stages of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Can I get a massage during the early stages of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the pressure during massage should be stable, not heavy sometimes and light sometimes. In the first three months of pregnancy and one and a half months before delivery, the pressure during massage should not be too strong. Certain parts of the body, such as the breasts, abdomen, back, back of the calves, and ankles, should not be massaged vigorously. If there are complications or other diseases, such as skin diseases, heart disease, asthma, and high blood pressure, massage is not recommended.
