Is it okay to get a mild foot and back massage while pregnant? im 6 weeks pregnant now. thanks!

See below: This should be safe. Make sure there is minimal pressure put on your abdomen during the massage. The best thing would be for them to concentrate on shoulders and upper back in a reclining chair, not on a table.
