I've investigated this a bit, and heard other tales of acupressure working for other women. I'd certainly try it before pitocin. This is the sort of information we need to have, to have more control over our options.

Thanks for sharing this!

My younger sister has a degree in acupuncture and on occasion she makes house calls to women in labor. Most often she gets called in by the doula when the woman's labor has stalled.

She says it can really help for women who are having back labor, as an alternative to just getting an epidural, which along with pain relief often causes the contractions to decline.
