Welcome and thank you for your post. This question is best left up to your OB/GYN. Massages during pregnancy can be very beneficial to reduce stress and anxiety, improve circulation, etc. Massages can be safe at any point during your pregnancy but many spas will refuse any type of massage on a woman in her first trimester due to the increased statistics for miscarriage associated with the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
If your OB gives you the green light, I say go for it!
