Just wanted to share my experience. I didn't previously book a massage lady because my placenta has been low-lying and gynae has been recommending a c-sect all along. And then one week before my scheduled c-sect, my placenta miraculously moved sufficiently for me to try natural delivery. I am now only 2 weeks from my EDD.
Decided to give Mdm Ida a call anyway (based on the positive things I have read in the forum) even though I know my chances are slim. She was really nice about it and said that while she can try and squeeze me in, chances may be better with her cousins. However, if in the end a c-sect is required, she will prob be able to squeeze me in for May. She was really nice and professional about it and she declined even though I offered to pay a higher rate for the last-minute booking. I also offered to absorb her transport expenses or something but she declined and said her usual fee includes everything already. It's nice to know that she is not motivated by money and I do hope that she can end up doing my massages for me after all.
