There is a collection of acupressure points that are useful before and during labour. Around 36 weeks I advise you to bring your birthing partner and I will demonstrate these and get them to practice them on you. Their uses include:
Before:
- Improve sleep
- Help to energise and to relax
- Increase blood supply to the uterine muscles
- Soften and strengthen tendons and ligaments
During:
- Help soften and ripen the cervix
- Help regulate and strengthen contractions
- Help to energise and to relax
- Increase endorphin levels
