I don't know where the points are but I do know that my husband Dr. partner in his office does this for many pregnant people and has really good results!

If you google accupressure and labor you'll get a bunch of sites.  I tried them last week and even when to get a massage where she did the same points and no luck.  I got some contractions, but just like any other natural inducation technique, I don't think it works unless your body is ready to go into labor.

1. Technique: Adjoining Valley

The Adjoining Valley technique stimulates the large intestine which surrounds part of your uterus. To stimulate this point, locate the webbing between your thumb and your forefinger (finger closest to your thumb), this area will feel tender to the touch. Press firmly, applying a continual pinching like motion to the area. This point will also help ease pain during delivery.

2. Technique: Shoulder Well

The Shoulder Well technique is performed by applying pressure to the trapezius muscle, the large muscle that connects your neck to your shoulder. Find the highest point where the muscle connects to the neck, then go down slightly approximately the width of four fingers. This area should feel the most tender along the muscle. Apply gentle but firm pressure intermittently.

3. Technique: Big and High

Apply the Blue and High technique by massaging the area between your ankle bone, the part that sticks out, and your Achilles tendon (just above your heel). This technique will encourage the baby to descend toward your pelvis.

4. Technique: Three Yin Crossing

The Three Yin Crossing will help strengthen weak contractions. This pressure point is located about hands width above your ankle next to the bone on the inside of your leg by your calf muscle. While feeling in this area you will most likely come across an area that is more tender, this is the area you should be focusing on.

You can also try the following acupressure point during your day, apply pressure to the roof of your mouth with your tongue, stimulating the area as far back as you can. Continue doing this while you go about your daily activities.

In a book I'm reading is says that one of them is in the fleshy part on your hands between your thumb and first finger and then there's another one on the back of your leg about 4 finger widths above your ankle.

GL!

We had it done on the hand and ankle this past Saturday by a message therapist. It didn't work I'm still here. Hope it works for you! Good Luck! Sending you Labor Dust! But keeping a little for myself. LOL!
