Massages and early labor

I've heard from numerous people that leg and foot massages can cause early labor... I am 28 weeks and my legs and feet are killing me and I don't know what to do, or if this is just a myth... Help?

Def. Not a myth, I'm a nail tech and we were taught in school to be extra careful with preggers, bc the pressure points in the feet and legs can cause pre-term labor.

There Are Certain Pressure points In Your Feet That Have Been Known To trigger the Start of Labor. But That's if You Go Get A Massage Or Pedicure They Will Know What It Is. There Are all Sorts Of Trigger Points In You Feet Tho. For All Sorts of Things so I Don't Think Its A Myth
