Has anyone bought this, and does it really work??

So I just came across a supposed 'natural' way to induce labor through acupressure. I found a book that you purchase online that claims to be very effective. I am only 36 weeks, but I'm scared to death that my baby is going to end up being stubborn (even more than she already is) and come late. I was thinking of purchasing this, but is it something you can do yourself? Being a single mommy it's going to be hard to find someone to do this for me. Hah.

Soooo.. has anyone tried this book/method ?? I'm more concerned with it reducing labor pains rather than bringing her earlier. I know I just need to get over the fact that it's going to hurt like a beeyotch but to reduce the pain even the smallest amount would be great.  

sounds kind of like a gimmick to me. good luck.

Don't buy anything like that! It's such a rip off. You can figure out which pressure points to stimulate online and all you have to do is rub them...and that might not even work so don't waste money. I know one is the soft spot on your foot near the back of your ankle, you might have to rub it a lot for a long time though fr it t have any affect.

oh I failed to read that you wanted to reduce your pain and not bring her early... I don't think you can make labor any easier before it's even began...

I dont think anyone should be trying to induce their labor - so I wouldnt buy it or recommend it. I would recommend letting your baby "cook" as long as they want to unless a doctor determines they need to intervene.
