Pedicures?

Ok Don't laugh but I swear I read somewhere that there are pressure points on your feet that can send you into labor or something like that....Anyone else heard that? If I get a pedicure do I need to tell them I'm pregnant so they don't rub too hard? If this is ridiculous just tell me :-)

    A little ridiculous. I've had several and I'm going today. They only rub you a little not like acupressure or anything. Besides if i told my pedicure person she would be like "and...?"
    Enjoy your pedi.

  • I read something about this too, but everything I read said not to worry and it was safe.  I don't think I could live without my pedi...the foot massage is the best part!  Enjoy it!

  • I took a pregnancy prenatal massage class and they told us to avoid the point four fingers above the inside of your ankle medial malleolus. It can cause preterm labor but you would need to press REALLY hard in order to do so. I would think you'd be fine getting a pedicure. Treat yourself :.
