I tried the pregnancy massage at Ellespa when I was pregnant last year. The first time was fab but the second time wasn't great at all, the masseuse said she was afraid to hurt me! I think it depends on who you get.
I also did pregnancy yoga at Pure Yoga in Causeway Bay until 36 weeks, started at 12 weeks. It was wonderful! the stretching and breathing really helped me when the going was tough ( i was working while pregnant and also had a 5 yr old at home) Really recommend doing both massage and yoga for pregnancy! you deserve all the pampering!

Thanks Kara23, am definitely going to do both, just wanted to see which companies are better. For the massage, I have only heard that Ellespa does it, but wanted to see if there are other companues that offer it too.

I just had a pre-natal massage at Body Conscious on 16/F The Centrium in Central. It was really good and they have a proper massage bed with the hole in the centre. It cost $750 and was definitely worth it. I had Clarine and she was really good, I would definitely go back.

I also go to Pure Yoga on the same floor as Body Conscious. The Central studio has two classes per week on Tuesday and Thursday at 12.45pm.

Cheers! Maria.

Also, heard that Ellespa is opening (or has opened) at the Centrium in Central.

For anyone who wants massage on a budget, here's my account of getting a massage at a local place that doesn't offer specific pre-natal massage. Talk to your doc first and do so at your own risk:

Thanks pinemarten. I also know someone who went to Happy Foot during her whole pregnancy and she seemed happy about the experience too.

I went to Frederique spa for a pregnancy massage and it was WONDERFUL. They are in central. Also, have heard Annerly Midwives have masseuses, but am not sure whether this is for only those who use their services, or for anyone.

Oasis Spa has pregnancy massage also. But I never tried this before. I just tried their traditional massage before I get pregnant, and that's fantastic. I will try their pregnancy massage maybe 1-2 weeks later, as ppl don't suggest to have massage in the 1st trimester. I just pass the 1st trimester and would like to stay for a while longer before taking massage. Tell u gals more after I try.
