It is no wonder there are so many doctors, midwives, doulas, and woman worldwide who have adopted this technique and recommend it to induce labor yourself.
Read a review of Easier, Shorter and Safer Birth using Maternity Acupressure by Dr. Lena Leno.
Here is one of the points in maternity acupressure. The P6 point helps the cervix dilate, and can be used when the cervix is not effectively dilating during labor.
It is located four finger widths above the tip of ankle bone on the inside of the ankle. Apply direct pressure on one leg using your index finger and thumb for one minute. Break for 20 minutes then apply pressure to the other leg. Some women will feel their cervix stretching and contractions strengthening. For this reason this is forbidden during pregnancy and only meant to be used for induction of labor.
