My Advice:

 

HI

There are trigger points that bring on labour, I have used them personally myself and I use them on my pregnant clients ( I am a remedial Massage Therapist)

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS BEST WHEN YOU ARE FULL TERM!!! ALSO THIS IS AN AIDE IN INDUCING LABOUR IF YOUR LITTLE ONE DOESNT WANT TO COME HE/SHE WONT COME.

point 1) massage the fleshy web between your thumb and hand (both sides)

Point 2) sit with your knee bent and feel your knee in the outside of your knee there is the top of your shin bone go down 4 finger spaces from just under that boney point and press/ massage there it will feel tender.

Point 3) look at the inner side of your foot directly below your ankle bone it would be swollen with your thumb on that point and your fingers directly across on the other side of the foot massage both sides.
 

There are more points but these are the main ones that one can do on their own.

You massage them as long as you can, when you feel twinges get up and walk around this encourages labour.
