Yes I can almost feel your frustration. You are past the stage of feeling like a beached whale where no matter how you lie down it is almost uncomfortable to do so. You have tried those fancy pillows, your partner has had enough of back rubbing and you feel like this pregnancy is never going to end. Gone out the window are those thoughts you had when you first became pregnant of how wonderful a having baby is going to be.
Even though you told you doctor a couple of days ago that you are now overdue and felt that this baby was never going to come, he suggested to leave it another week and let nature take its course. Though you are feeling like you just want the birth over sooner rather than later you know he is right. Several friends have told you about their bad experiences of being medically induced in hospital and you certainly do not want to have a similar experience. They have told you about the intense pain and almost impossible task of delivering a baby with an epidural which dulls the pain but also inhibits a mothers ability to push the baby through the birth canal.
So you bang on your pillow once again hoping to get a bit more comfortable when a friend you have not seen for ages knocks on your door. After catching up a bit she tells you about a method she used to help induce her labor naturally. You are all ears as she tells you how maternity acupressure works.
She tells you that maternity acupressure is a technique that uses the fingertips and thumbs to apply pressure or small circular motions on specific pressure points in the body to help relieve symptoms, ease pain or, in the case of pregnancy, bring on contractions of the uterus. You think it sounds a bit strange but it might be fun to try it anyway and if it works well that will be a bonus.
So you tell her let us try it and have some fun like we did as kids. She shows you the three main pressure points that are used in maternity acupressure to help induce labor naturally. After she uses her fingers in small circular motions on a couple of these points you feel yourself relaxing and feeling heaps more comfortable. She continues using the techniques which she tells you she had learnt from a book just prior to her last pregnancy and how her partner, even though he was at first reluctant to use these techniques, actually enjoyed the experience.
Not long later your partner arrives home and you get your friend to teach him the basic steps involved in maternity acupressure as it seems to relax you and make your feel more comfortable. Your friend finally leaves telling you she will be back tomorrow to check out your new baby.
