Getting a foot massage help start labor....?

[xxJayymee]

I was wondering if anybody else has tried this?? I'm 38 weeks and just got a foot massage wondering if it's helped anybody else go into labor?

Nope it hasn't worked, lol. Set off a couple Braxton hicks and that was all.

My midwife told me there was certain pressure points and to massage them to kick start labour but it didn't work for me but then I probably wasn't doing it right, could work if you maybe get a professional to do it? :)

I am a massage therapists. This is kind of one of those things that the chances of it actually working is slim. Basically there are pressure points on your feet that make your uterus contract. However, it is not probably really going to be enough to induce labor. I have tried it on many woman with no success. As they told us the same thing in school. More or less they will come when they are ready!!
