Maternity acupressure is a very simple hands-on technique. The method involves the application of pressure onto specific, sensitive pressure points on skin called acupressure points. These points are along the human body - on shoulders, hands, back, legs and feet. Maternity acupressure uses fingers and thumbs, as opposed to needles in acupuncture, to stimulate these specific acupressure points to naturally induce labor. During childbirth, maternity acupressure can be used to strengthen contractions and helping the cervix to dilate. Stimulation of other points gives relief from labor pains, and helps to relax and stay calm.
Research shows that acupressure techniques significantly shorten the delivery time. Women who use labor acupressure have a two hour shorter delivery time than the average.
With basic instructions, you can safely use Maternity acupressure at home to naturally start your labor. Maternity acupressure is a great way for every supporting person to get involved and truly render the best possible help before and during labor and delivery. Although this method is a popular at-home remedy to start labor your self, many midwives and doulas use the technique to help their customers to experience a normal and safe birthing experience.

Acupressure during labor is very useful in managing labor pains. Acupressure can be used to prepare expectant mother’s body for labor, too. Stimulation of specific acupressure points helps the cervix to ripen and the baby to engage. Some other pressure points stimulate contractions. What is great is that labor acupressure doesn’t overstimulate your body and it’s easy to use. Because acupressure is merely applying pressure on specific spots on your skin, with basic instructions you can use it safely at home to encourage the labor to start naturally. There is at least one step-by-step labor acupressure guide available online at http://www.MaternityAcupressure.com. Not acupuncture, ACUPRESSURE. Through research, I found out that it is when you push different pressure points throughout the body and it is also used to aid in the pain of labor. I would like to know what spots these are so that I may use them while I'm in labor as I do not plan to have any meds administered to me. The acupuncture is the science of placing very special needles at specifice pressure and nerve points. With labor its place to alleviate the pain of birth. Call an acupuncturist in your phone book and ifs there's not one listed look into chiropactors, some of them may know one or perform it themselves.

Of the twelve regular meridians, the yin meridians always flow up the body, and all the yang meridians always flow down.

You would think so, but no. I had it done years ago. You do feel a little stick, but after a while, you don't feel anything. Just close your eyes and relax.
You feel a slight pinch when the needles are inserted and at times you can feel pins and needles around where the needles are but no pain at all. Its so relaxing - well worth the money.

The best way to learn how much pressure to give during a technique is to take a class on reflexology or acupressure, or another option is to make an appointment with a professional and get a treatment.
Another way to answer the question is that it should feel good. Even if there is some pain, it may be beneficial as long as it is a good-kind-of-pain.

To specific points located on the acupuncture meridians (channels of energy flow identified in Asian concepts of anatomy) in order to release blocked energy along these meridians that causes physical discomforts, and re-balance the energy flow.
