I guess I am not a massage person...

I was given a gift card to a spa for my birthday. I thought, what a perfect way to use the gift card; I will get a nice, relaxing, prenatal massage! Let me preface by saying that I have never had a massage before, so I had no idea what to expect.

When I got to the spa, it was very peaceful and serene. I met the masseuse, and went into the quiet, candle filled room. It smelled great and the music was soothing. She told me what to expect, and then said she would leave the room while I got undressed and got under the blanket. Um, I don't do undressed. Especially pregnant undressed. Especially pregnant, in front of a total stranger undressed. I opted to keep my giant underwear on, thank you. The massage was about 90 minutes long. For a person who doesn't even like to nap, spending 90 minutes getting touched by someone other than my husband was not for me.

I now know why it took me so long to try a massage. Like yoga, it's just not for me!
