Acupressure points to induce labor naturally

if you are over the due date or is very close to 40 week pregnant, acupressure may be an ideal way to induce labor naturally. In several parts of asia, this method has been used to jump-start labor in the late time of pregnancy. There is also research from University of North Carolina that says women who got acupuncture were more likely to go into labor without a medical "push." Their study shows 70% of the women who got acupressure went into labor without medication or any other artificial means. Acupressure not just induce labor but also reduce the pain during delivery.
