30w pregnant?'s: At 30w of pregnancy, cramping abdominal pain needs evaluation by your OB physician. The foot massage did not cause your symptoms.

Contact OB provider: Quite unlikely that the foot massage would trigger contractions but no matter what happened you need to contact your obstetrician for evaluation right away to evaluate the baby’s heart rate & movement & see if any other triggers exist (urinary tract infection, etc)
