Nipple stimulation and acupressure to self-induce?

Question

I'm 38 weeks and my doctor said I could try these along with walking,s*x,etc...to self induce by this weekend hopefully (we have reasons, my doctor agrees its fine) but I don't know how to do the acupressure, which points do I use?where are they? how long do I rub them? and how do I go about nipple stimulation? just rub them? I need some help.........umm no lectures please, I will be induced by my doctor if this doesn't help but I wanted to try on my own first.

Answer 1

I think there is a point between your thumb and pointer finger that you are suppose to squeeze until you a contraction starts and them let go until it ends and repeat.  You can also try castor oil.

Answer 2

Well, I was told by my doctor that all those self-induction techniques will only work if your body is actually ready to go into labour (the reason why having s*x at 20 weeks doesn't start pre-mature labour in normal pregnancies). BUT, it never hurts to try so good luck!

I don't know anything about the acupressure, but I was told that the nipple stimulation is just that, stimulating the nipples. So however you like to do that is fine. Maybe get your significant other involved to make it a little more fun!
