Acupressure as a natural way to induce labor

Acupressure is safe and effective way to induce labor. By applying pressure to certain points on the body, the uterus is stimulated to contract and/or the cervix to dilate and efface(thin).

Before going ahead with any form of induction, one should consult her doctor first, so he/she will know what is going on, and wich form of induction is best for her. While consulting the doctor, its a good idea to go over the points you will be using, and making sure one is using the right point.

One point is on the inside of the leg, between the two bones on the inside of the leg, about three and a half finger widths up from the ankle bone. Another point is between the thumb and finger. It can be found where the fingers are joined.
