Just catching up, yay for new car and even bigger ya for the size 12's. food looks great this week bet ya can't wait for weigh in later.
You've done the right thing going back to docs and getting signed off, if your still in pain your best of resting up and like ya say its extra time with the kiddies. I'm not sure about the massage, I think it'll make you more relaxed it just depends if you can bear to be touched because they'll apply some pressure. Best to ring physio.
Good luck for wi I'm sure you'll do fab.
