pedicures bring on labor?

I was talking to a friend about how I want to treat myself before baby gets here so I'm gonna go get a pedicure. She said to be carefule cause the massage could bring on labor. I've heard that when they do the massage that it could bring in contractions but I just thought they were like Braxton Hicks....so I guess I'm asking if she's right or if its just BH?

I believe there is a pressure point behind your ankle bone that if it is massaged it can bring on contractions... but not 100%... I have gotten a pedicure before I had both my boys and had no problems...

Idk i get my feet done often and im 32 wks and never had contraction or anything from the massaging part of it

I've gotten my feet a few times while pregnant, but at the place I go to if you're pregnant they do a not so intense massage on you, so I haven't had any contractions either.

There is a pressure point on your ankle and the pad of your foot that helps with contractions....also, the good feeling can release oxytocin naturally in your body which helps induce labor!

When they do the massage just make sure you tell the lady not to rub around your ankles. The pressure point is 4 fingers up from your ankles.
