Prenatal massage to induce labor?

Question

Has anyone done a prenatal massage/pressure points to naturally induce labor? 
I have a massage booked to help with all the pulling and stress on my back. Baby is measuring 39 weeks and I’m soooo ready to meet this little girl. Even though the massage is to help with back pain, I was curious if hitting certain pressure points could help speed things along.

Answer

I scheduled one for my first daughter. Ended up having her the day before the appointment 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️

Answer

Yes I tried massage and acupuncture, neither worked. I was 39 weeks and baby had to come out for medical reasons. Unfortunately nothing worked for me. But my chiropractor said that he's seen acupuncture work

Answer

If you're looking to induce through massage you need an induction massage. During that they hit all the pressure points and use oils specific for induction. A prenatal massage is basically for anytime after the first trimester to work out muscle tightness and such, avoiding those pressure points and using different oils.

Answer

Massage and chiropractic care can both help to make labour and delivery shorter and/or easier, but I don’t think I’ve heard of it bringing on labour
