Was wondering if anyone has tried acupuncture to start labour? A mw in the hospital recommended me to try it tomorrow before I will be induced. Any opinion would be very much appreciated xx
 
I havent tried acupuncture but google and youtube acupressure for induction of labour.

I have pressed the points between my finger and thumb and it has given me some contractions. I do it for about 10 mins on each hand. it stimulates the large intestine i think and then that can stimulate contractions, a bit like having a hot curry i guess but without the runs! my contractions fade but i hope its done something each time.
 
Oh yes! Thanks for reminding me Charlotte - I was shown which points to press during my antenatal classes. I completely forgot! Will give it a go xx
 
Ooh that sounds interesting, I wonder is reflexology a consideration too then? X
 
yes it is Princess81 - my mw said I might want to try it!
