Acupressure is an ancient Chinese Natural Therapy used to align energy flow through the bodies energetic pathways called the Meridians.
Meridians are pathways that run throughout our body distributing energy and information. There are hundreds of Acupoints along the Meridians that act as information centres connected to specific parts of your body.
By applying firm, continuous pressure for a few minutes at a time, every few hours, to specific Acupoints relevant to labour and birth, your energy and information pathways flow more efficiently, allowing your labour and birth to flow with it.
Benefits of Acupressure in Labour:
• Increases Oxytocin and Endorphins.
• Suppresses Adrenalin.
• Lessens anxiety and stress.
• Makes contractions more efficient.
• Lessens pain perception.
Once you reach 37 weeks gestation, your pregnancy is considered “full term” and it is safe to start using Acupressure. Your baby is fully grown and ready for the outside world. Having said that, your baby may not want to come out yet, even if your feet are swollen and your back is aching, and YOU want baby to come out sooner rather than later! Baby might want to fatten up a bit more, laying on the couch ordering room service in the 5-star “Hotel de Womb”. Don’t rush the process. Enjoy it.
Using Acupressure points won’t necessarily put you into labour earlier if your mind and body (or your baby!) are not ready yet. But they will channel your energy in the right direction, so that when your mind, body and baby are ready, you’re all set and pumped up for action.
From 37 weeks, you can practice finding the relevant Acupoints and using them so that you have your “Superpowers” primed and ready for when labour starts.
