Labor Inducing Accupressure And Accupuncture
Posted: 01-07-08 17:47pm

Has anyone had any experience with these or heard of any success with them???
I have an appt in a week and they are gonna focus on the Accupressure points which are known or can induce labor. Just wanna know if this is for real????
They also have an accupunturist in the clinic who can do labor inducing acupunture, is it worth the money????? anyone know?

yes. The points are 4 fingers above your inner ankle. Also, there is one in between your index finger and thumb!!

Now this is just for accupressure, not accupuncture! I'm not to familiar with the accupuncture!! I hate needles!!

But I'm a licensed Esthitician and had to study all the pressure points of the body!!

Hey Sarah, the point between your finger and thumb... isn't that one good for relieving headaches too?

I can't find the one above my inner ankle Neutral

Yes, but not as well as each fingertip. Massage each finger, stopping at each joint. THen massage the fingertip.

Those points normally help more than the point inbetween the index & thumb for headaches.

If it doesn't help, you can do the same procedure on your toes!!

hmm... I've never heard of acupressure, but it makes so much sense, I guess that's what a back rub it, kinda. I'm gonna have to try those when I'm getting impatient waiting for my baby!
