Depends on the masseuse. Some are afraid as massage will trigger contraction. Normally on the 3rd tri. I remember I went for a massage at 6 months pregnant but was rejected by 2 masseuse because they were afraid the massage will trigger contraction on me especially the leg massage. Did massage on the 3rd tri as my baby was breached.

Possible after Week 20, if not high risk. But try to choose a place that is trained in prenatal massage. There are some acupoints on the feet that may induce labour. Some types of essential oils might also trigger contractions. The masseuse needs to know to avoid.
