I'm a massage therapist. You can go onto labor with reflexology of the feet, hand and even during some massages where pressure points are used. Let the therapist know your pregnant AMD how far along you are. And please,  make sure they are trained in prenatal massage. So many say they are and don't have a clue. Ease of mind ask for license and if possible,  educational background. Massage dulas are awesome if you want one in the delivery room. Little costly but wonderful.

there are specific pressure points (mainly on the inward parts of your leg above the ankle) that can cause contractions when pressure is applied.

No I went to massage school it can't. There r pregnancy massages so u should make sure the person is trained in that. U can go into labor with reflexology... That's work on pressure points on ur feet that coorespond with your organs and body. So don't have any work on ur feet lol but.a massage is fine. I need to get one too lol
