I'm 11w5d, can my bf give me a back massage? Is it safe?

My bf keeps offering to give me a back massage to help me feel better, but I just want to make sure it's safe. I wouldn't think that there'd be any issue with it, but I just wanted to see what you guys had to say.

i don't understand why you would think it wouldn't be tbh?
It is definitly safe to have a back/neck/any other massage. Even a tummy massage can be helpful if you're having cramps or round ligament pains. The baby is very well protected in the amniotic fluid, it won't feel any minor bumps, or be concerned with you lying on your stomach, the womb is at the front of your abdomen right now(after it rises from the pelvis) not at the back, it will not feel a thing, even if you were to have a stomach massage it still wouldn't feel a thing.
Go for it.

Of course it's safe. Just make sure he doesn't press down too hard. My boyfriend will give me a massage every once in a while because of my hips and now he's learned to use soft touch unless I tell him to press down. Before he would do it so hard though I'd have an aching back for a while later.lol Oh he tries. <3

Its safe, I wouldn't use whole alot of pressure but a little bit is ok.

Its perfectly safe. You can get them throughout your entire pregnancy but when it gets uncomfortable to lay on your stomach you can lay on your side with a pillow between your legs and he can rub you then. Your baby is surrounded by amniotic fluid. So the little one is perfectly safe if you lye on your tummy.
