...steam treatment. Safe? If I am pregnant, it's still too early for a test to come up +. I will be testing on Monday.
Ummm... meaning he got me a gift certificate for the treatment. Before I got pregnant.

wait until you see if the test is pos, if it is there are massages that are safe during preg, i'm not sure about the hot stone massage because there are certain spots on the body that can cause contractions or miscarriage, so ask your doc about that particular massage and if he says no then as the spa if they have someone that does pregnancy massages and if so can you change to that instead.

I might avoid the steam treatment (are you talking like a sauna?) because raising your core body temperature in very early pregnancy can cause miscarriage or problems with the fetus. But the hot stone massage itself is not enough to raise your core temperature, so I'd say go for that alone.
Good luck!

Under twenty minutes you should be safe.

very small chance

Yes, I would think so. Although the What to Expect book tells you not to take hot baths, that is a bit of a myth. We (humans) are warm-blooded, so our core body temperature stays about the same all the time unless we have fever. Unlike a lizard whose body temp will climb to the temperature of its surroundings, ours stays about the same whether it's 20 degrees outside or 110. Of course, we can get hypothermia if we go outside and it's too cold and we're not properly dressed, or heat stroke if it's hot and we're not hydrated properly. But seriously, stay hydrated and don't worry about it. I live in a hot, humid climate and I walked outside every day while pregnant in August when it was over 100 degrees. There was no problem.

I have to say this: It takes a bit more than just a massage to get you pregnant, so unless you and hubby have been doing other things, or you have been recently inseminated some other way, I would say that it is just as likely that I am pregnant as you are.
