Acupressure to Induce Labor

After nine months of pregnancy, little is more miserable than lingering past your due date. Your feet hurt, your back hurts, and you want to see your baby, not just feel your baby.

The good news is that inducing labor naturally using acupressure is safe.

You can take control and help to get your labor started. While there are numerous natural labor inducing methods that might help to start your contractions, but none of them are as effective and safe as acupressure in inducing labor. Labor acupressure increases blood flow in the uterus, helps the baby to descend into the pelvis, ripens the cervix, and encourages your labor to begin.

Most importantly, acupressure is simple, and there are no side effects. You can perform it easily on yourself, or you can ask your partner to do it. Unlike medications that force labor to start by working against the body, acupressure works with your body to encourage and assist the contractions to start naturally.

The bottom line is that acupressure can help you avoid medical inducements such as Foley catheters, medications, and worst of all ? a cesarean section. Here are some of the best points of acupressure to induce labor and to get your baby ready to go.

Adjoining Valley (LI4)

This point affects the large intestine, which surrounds a portion of your uterus. It is one of the best points for labor inducement. Located in the webbing between your thumb and your forefinger, you will absolutely know when you?ve found the spot ? it will be tender. You need to press firmly here, however. This is also a great point to use when you?re in the delivery room to ease the discomfort of labor.

Shoulder Well (GB21)

This point is where your shoulder muscle is highest, approximately four finger-widths from your shoulder joint toward your neck. The point should be the most tender of all of the points along the shoulder. You can also teach this point to your partner and ask him to use it on you while you?re in the delivery room to reduce your labor pains.

Big and High (BL60)

This point helps the baby to descend toward the pelvis. It is located between the ankle bone and the Achilles? tendon on the back of your foot just above the heel.

Three Yin Crossing (SP6)

This point helps to ripen the cervix and strengthen weak contractions. It is located four finger-widths above the ankle next to the bone on the inside of the leg. If you find a spot that is more tender than the surrounding areas, you have found the correct point.

You can also try applying pressure to the roof of your mouth with your tongue. This is a little known acupressure point that you can easy stimulate while you?re doing any of your day-to-day tasks.

You can certainly try many of the natural methods for inducing labor, but acupressure has worked for more women than any other. So, no matter what you try, be sure to add these simple massage techniques to your repertoire.

Top Article: Old Daniel, at Sarah's earnest entreaties, took a palm-leaf fan. But he did not use it. He sat peace-fully under the cool trail of the great elm all the forenoon, while little Dan'l played with her doll. The child was rather languid after her shock of the day before, and not disposed to run about. Also, she had a great sense of responsibility about the old man. Sarah Dean had privately charged her not to let Uncle Daniel get "overhet." She continually glanced up at him with loving, anxious, baby eyes. "Be you overhet. Uncle Dan'l?" she would ask. "No, little Dan'l, uncle ain't a mite overhet," the old man would assure her. Now and then little Dan'l left her doll, climbed into the old man's lap, and waved the palm-leaf fan before his face. Old Daniel Wise loved her so that he seemed, to himself, fairly alight with happiness. He made up his mind that he would find some little girl in the village to come now and then and play with little Dan'l. In the cool of that evening he stole out of the back door, covertly, lest Sarah Dean discover him, and walked slowly to the rector's house in the village. The rector's wife was sitting on her cool, vine-shaded veranda. She was alone, and Daniel was glad. He asked her if the little girl who had come to live with her, Content Adams, could not come the next after-noon and see little Dan'l. "Little Dan'l had ought to see other children once in a while, and Sarah Dean makes real nice cookies," he stated, pleadingly. Sally Patterson laughed good-naturedly. "Of course she can, Mr. Wise," she said. The next afternoon Sally herself drove the rec-tor's horse, and brought Content to pay a call on little Dan'l. Sally and Sarah Dean visited in the sitting-room, and left the little girls alone in the parlor with a plate of cookies, to get acquainted. They sat in solemn silence and stared at each other. Neither spoke. Neither ate a cooky. When Sally took her leave, she asked little Dan'l if she had had a nice time with Content, and little Dan'l said, "Yes, ma'am." Sarah insisted upon Content's carrying the cookies home in the dish with a napkin over it. "When can I go again to see that other little girl?" asked Content as she and Sally were jogging home. "Oh, almost any time. I will drive you over- because it is rather a lonesome walk for you. Did you like the little girl? She is younger than you." "Yes'm." Also little Dan'l inquired of old Daniel when the other little girl was coming again, and nodded em-phatically when asked if she had had a nice time. Evidently both had enjoyed, after the inscrutable fashion of childhood, their silent session with each other. Content came generally once a week, and old Daniel was invited to take little Dan'l to the rector's. On that occasion Lucy Rose was present, and Lily Jennings. The four little girls had tea to-gether at a little table set on the porch, and only Lily Jennings talked. The rector drove old Daniel and the child home, and after they had arrived the child's tongue was loosened and she chattered. She had seen everything there was to be seen at the rec-tor's. She told of it in her little silver pipe of a voice. She had to be checked and put to bed, lest she be tired out.
