Hi Ladies...I just purchased the maternity acupressure guide online and I was wondering if anybody here as known anybody with luck regarding the pain relief. If so, I'm hoping to hear which points worked best. I will also be using the points to help induce - I will be getting pitocin on the 21st so I'm hoping the acupressure will help speed that up so we won't need as much pitocin. Any advice on what points have worked well, and at what stages would be appreciated.

I've been trying the acupressure here and there to induce, but haven't had any luck. Then again, I haven't been very persistent with it. It's given me a few contractions, but nothing causing any progress. It's supposed to be one of the best forms to naturally induce, or so I've read. So, I'd like to know if you end up having any luck with it, so make sure to let us know!

Hi all,
just want to know if the acupressure worked to help induce labor. I want to have a vbac and my doctor is not too supportive and its too late for me to switch because im 37 weeks. I would love to hear how it helped with pain relief
