Pregnancy Info HOME

Im not sure, it seems kind of far fetched.

I have heard that rubbing the webbing of your feet can cause contractions.

Actually, there is truth to this. I'm not sure what area it is, but there is an area near the back of the foot and ankle that can cause contractions. That is why they say woman should not get a professional foot ma__sage late in their pregnancy, and if they do, the technician will not use as much pressure. Every area in your foot, ankle is somehow connected to another part of your body....and that area happens to be connected to the uterus.

oh, try googling reflexology foot map or reflexology foot chart. It will bring up a chart of the foot and show you where that area is.

there is some truth to it, there is a spot on your medial ankle that represents your uterus in reflexology and if you ma__sage that area it can sometimes cause uterine contractions

My ma__sage therapist told me to schedule an appointment around my due date and she would work on the "correct" areas to induce labor. If they know what they're doing, a lot of times this works. Not sure why you would be told not to get this done late in pregnancy though, it's unsafe earlier in pregnancy because of the chance of premature labor.

they tell you not to do it late in pregnancy because they don't want woman who are "sick of being pregnant" at 37 or 38 weeks going in to get a foot ma__sage to induce labor.
