F/U to doneski....

Last night we tried the pressure points...

So we did deep tissue massage of my shoulders to hit that pressure point. I worked on my feet, hitting the spot behind the ancle, top of foot and in the arch. Then worked on the one in the webbing of my thumb on both hands for ages.

Some cramping.

Loose stools.

a bit more moisture downstairs.

Nothing else yet. But I heard it can take 24 hours. I will keep playing with my feet and hands today.

Yay! FX for L&D in your very near future.

I'm pretty interested in acupressure & deep tissue massage, but not sure how to go about researching it. Any suggestions?

You can actually find some pretty nifty diagrams online showing the spots for specific problems. Such as labor induction, reducing constipation... all sorts of things but for our purposes.... My mom physically showed me, it is easier to see than to describe.

I found these videos:

 Do not try to induce labor this way unless you are over 38 weeks ok? Not much point pushing baby to come early. And they say if your not ready, even these things dont work anyway.

Thanks! I find it easier to be shown how to do something rather than refer to a diagram as well. I will definitely check these out. Thanks for the links!

My friend that is a manicurist (and does a lot of pedi's) told me there is a trigger point right along the outside of the shin bones (tibia?).
