Massages?

Has anyone been able to start labor by getting a massage?

Funny story... I was in denial about being on labor but around 2 pm I started getting cramps every 5 mins. I had a pedicure and foot massage appt at 2:30 so I went anyways. When I went they kept getting stronger and stronger and the massage actually made them come on faster and harder. By the end of my appt I was in a lot of pain lol. The girls at the spa were like you should go to the hospital. I called my hubby and we went and sure enough I was 4 cms dilated and in labor! Had my baby at 9 pm that night :P
