I ahd a FABULOUS prenatal massage at Spa on the Hill. They just posted on FB that they have specials M-W during the day, too ($115 for a 90 minute massge).
It was fantastic. I had Janelle, on a Sunday, and she was great. Definitely recommend. On a Sunday, parking was easy, too. |

| Not OP, but for the sugesstions, do those places have you laying on your side, or do they have the belly hole? Belly hole is by FAR my preference. |

Oh, they have the belly "hole" - it's more like a series of mats (best way to describe it) that take the pressure off your belly - basically holes for your boobs and tummy. And they have one level for 30+ weeks, another for less than 30 weeks.
I wouldn't do a side one - not relaxing. I picked this specifically because they had tummy down massages. It was really great. Then, when you're on your back, she propped up the table so you weren't flat. there was a downside to the massage - it eventually ended, and a day later I realized that 90 minutes isn't enough for my F'd up back/shoulders! |

| I have gotten them at Aveda at King Farm... most wonderful. And at the end of my pregnancies (week 40), I had an "induction massage" - no idea if it worked, but it felt wonderful and I went into labor within a few days each time. Planning on doing one with DS #3 due to arrive in a couple of weeks. |

| I have had two "side" massages at Massage Envy in Rockville. I was a little sad they didn't have the tummy hole. On a positive note, both massages were very affordable ($60-70 each). Also, the therapists did a full massage on each side, so I had symmetrical relief, and they do take time to focus on problem spots. other than not getting to lay on my tummy, I found the relief to be similar to non-pregnant, medium intensity massage. |

| Go for reflexology if you're worried about a place having a "belly hole." Most won't. |
