Pre-natal massage

I love massage!!
Practically any kind of massage.
Thanks to my  in laws,
I tried a facial and massage in Paris.
For the facial, the lady spoke too much
and for the massage, it lacks the hard aching kneading..
The shiok aching feeling.
Anyway, i dont know whether is because both were groupon
thats why is not so good.
Oh to add on, i even tried shampoo here
but it didnt have the asian head and shoulder massage with it. 
And since the pricing is in euros,
i always feel that massage here is expensive
especially when i compare to the prices in south east asia.

Every yearly trip back to Singapore means is massage time!
I even got husband hooked on this yearly massage routine,
that he did like daily massage in bali because it was so cheap...
However, this year, we had to give massage a miss
because im early in pregnancy
and google says no massage for 1st trimester.
So, i definitely want husband to suffer along with me, haha.
It helped that we visited hongkong this year,
less temptation of cheap massage.

However, with the pregnancy,
i was really aching all over that i badly need a massage.
During my jb trip,
i was disappointed again to know that prenatal massage is doable
after 4 months of pregnancy.
Arrrgh, i was so desparate that i went for hair shampoo sessions
so to enjoy a little of the head and shoulder massage.
Google says i should wait till 2nd trimester for prenatal massage
so i tortured husband for giving me massages.
Finally, im in my 17th week 
and i managed to find a prenatal massage near home!

The experience is defintely different from a regular massage.
Im unsure whether is is also because im not in asian.
The kneading is soft but at times, she did press some 'shiok' aching points.
The biggest difference is the massage is done with me on my side,
supported by a maternity pillow
and no fixed position for my limbs.
I did hope to have strong pressure on my aching back,
yet, it was so relaxing that i almost felt asleep.
I have never really tried to sleep in massages,
to fully enjoy the massage 
and sometimes too pain to sleep, haha.

Im having some post massage aches
that i guess is normal?
It was 60eur / 60mins
that i think ill be going back again for next few months...
