how exactly do you rub the ankles to bring on labor

the area linked to the uterus and fallopian tubes are the soft parts underneath the inner ankles. apply pressure and massage in an upwards movement towards the back of your foot. If you are doing it right, you will feel some pressure on your tummy. It is better to get someone else to do it whilst you lay back and relax. It worked for me!

Rub the area between your inner ankle and heel. There should be a slight bump there. Not too much pressure, but not too lightly either. It works best to have someone else do this for you while you lay back and relax. My massage therapist told me about this reflexology point during one of my massages. It can work! One of her pregnant clients had this done during one of her appointments and she went into labor in 24 hrs. Good luck!

Well you got one answer how to do it. Dont you hate all these people saying just wait for the miracle of life? I do! Im at 40 weeks today and I have been looking for anything to get me started. I have been told that past 38 weeks it is just basically living off you and getting bigger. So Im like lets go! But I get all these people that are obviously not pregnant and wanting us to wait instead of trying ourselves. Its just so frustrating to me. I guess I had to vent and your question has helped me. I will go ahead and try this too. My little one just doesnt want to come out... and from personal experience.. the longer you go, the bigger the babies get... the harder labor is.

I have never heard of this one but I would say that your health care provider should ALWAYS be consulted if you plan on 'bringing on labour' with ANY method. It may seem harmless but think it through logically, if it stimulates the body enough to induce labour, what else could it do???

Never heard that, I've heard that you can do that to your nipples about 30 minutes 10 times a day and supposibly can start labor, or have sex and let your partner *** inside you. That's what my doctor said with our second baby.

I havent heard of that before. I always heard that you should try walking and even having sex.
