Is It Safe To Take Abdominal Massage During Pregnancy?

Hello, we have heard that "abdomen massages" (sobado in spanish) might be beneficial when trying to become pregnant, particularly if the uterus is too low, and even more after a miscarriage. It seems to be a common practice in Mexico. Could you tell us if this is something to try (after one early miscarriage) or is there a risk with these massages?
