My friend who is a massuse was over today and shared some very interesting info with me, If you draw an up and down line start @ left rib and run towards pelvis making an i. Next make an L start at right rib across to left rib and then down. Next a U start and left rib rub down and over and back up to right rib. Its called the I Love U rub if your constipated its supposed to make you go. Also have your DH rub your stomach clock wise around your belly.
Next for labor she said there are pressure points by your acceliss (SP????) tendon and by your wrists that can induce labor. She said the day before my due date she will come and rub those places. Also to call her when I go into labor and she will come to hospital to rub me Im so glad shes a professional now. She used to practice on me in the day and she still does sometime. Lucky me
Re: constipated or want to induce labor?
I was actually reading about accupressure points to induce labor today. Basically there's two points you can massage to induce labor; one is the webbing in between your thumb and first finger (massage in a circle for 1 minute). The other is on the inside of your leg. The point is four finger widths up from your ankle.
So I tried both today.....no such luck for me.
That's not fair...In-laws are there to be used when we need them
