Hello mesusuana,
You were right to discontinue massage when you found out you are pregnant.
I don't think that two weeks is long enough to affect anything from using fenugreek so you are OK there.
Do not massage with any herbs or take them internally while pregnant. It can still get to the bloodstream. I would also say that any creams should also be discontinued unless home made such as olive oil alone due to the chemical additives. But you won't be needing anything. If anything, you could use aloe vera cream on your stomach to help it return to normal after delivery.
Once you deliver, and if you need it, fenugreek and goat's rue are good for bringing in milk. For NBE, you will need to be completely dried up before you resume. Breastfeeding your baby is the best thing for both of you.
Good luck,
Wahaika
