Hope this new year is better for you.
Please do not tell me you'll try to do it on yourself? " Only a qualified acupuncturist and trained should do these things (things that must be sterile, or you risk an infection that could harm you and the baby). Find one in your area and give them a call!
Firstly, it is not 10 points 5 stars. :)
Anyway, if you get a foot massage along your bow and your ankles (and I think between your big toe and your toe) is supposed to help. I read that you do this for about 30 minutes or so ... I do not remember exactly. But it is supposed to help. Even if not, why not rub a good foot?? :)
I was gunna try that if I ever get far enough.
EDIT: To the person above me there a difference between acupuncture and acupressure. :) It was the needle and it did not.
Honestly, I wouldnt advise using acupressure on your car. seek professional help or just go for simple options relaxing baths and sex to induce labor
My friend had acupressure on the feet but it was also the same day she was sweeping the membranes and the work that went into the night IM not sure if it was coincidence or what but I do not see the harm in giving your partner a foot massage, in fact im certain she would enjoy
Good luck for when baby arrives

My mother had done when she was 40 + weeks and encouraged to do so. I did and if that was what put me in work the next day or any other methods I tried I do not know.
We have to apply firm pressure while massaging the feet. Everywhere, from the toes to heel. Particular attention was gived to the back of my ankles and heels.
Other things I tried to start. I went for a long walk that I could really feel the presure of. Rotating my hips on my exercise ball and have sex.
I combined all of the day before my due date. I went into labor the morning of my due date!
All the best.
