prenatal massage

37 weeks, 1cm dilated and no contractions. Going for a massage today and hoping it'll start some contractions. Anyone have experience with this?

Well I went and it was relaxing! Probably coincidence but baby is moving a lot and pushing down really hard now...

I had a massage last week at 36 weeks, thought it would relieve my hip pain... didn't really do much except leave my entire back bruised! It was really nice to relax for an hour and a half though! I say pedicures are the way to jump start labor!
