Apparently there is some kind of muscle or something in your ankles or feet that can make you go into labor?
So I'm gonna go get a pedi & see if this works... can't reach my own feet anyways, might as well pamper myself before lil man is here 😂
@skyy12221, I don't think it will work for me then.. at my last appointment my cervix was still closed 😔 but I have my next appointment tomorrow so I'm hoping there has been some progress, if so I'm gonna do everything you just said you did! Lol
@tylersmommy1102, I was 37w 4d 4cm 60% effaced. I had took a 45min walk at 38w 3d when I came home I lost my mucus plug, did some labor inducing exercises for about 20-30mins with my doula and she massaged more pressure points she got my contractions started and they were coming every minute lasting 1-2mins and my water broke that night 13 hours later. I had him at 38w 4d.
@skyy12221, how far along were you? And was your cervix already thinned or dilated any?
Yes! My doula massaged the acupressure points in my ankles and I started having contractions right away!
@tylersmommy1102, it might, but those exercises I did actually made me thin more and they moves him in the birth canal and we could see him moving down. I would also tell you to walk as long as you can I would walk for 2 hours sometimes but at least 30mins does wonders and it caused me to contract. I did the reversion twice, the cat yoga pose, pelvic rocks, a few squats like 10, and deep breathing I also relaxed a lot! Not sure if you can but I also had sex which caused contractions. Look up those exercises and try it. Hopefully it works out for you!
