Massage while pregnant

Hello,

I'm a LMT that is 4 months pregnant with my first child and have had difficulty finding information on how to perform massage while pregnant. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Catherine - I haven't forgotten about you. I'm just slow ;)

I can't find the one I was thinking of, but here's another: http://www.massagetherapy.com/articles/index.php/article_id/825/Pra...

In the article I was looking for, something that stood out in my mind was the suggestion to use a step stool with your clients so you can get your belly out of the way as needed. Anyway - I'll keep diggin. ;) How's your pregnancy going?
