pedicure inducing labor?
I was just talking to my friend who is almost 37 weeks pregnant now, and she said she is afraid to get a pedicure because it can cause contractions. I had never heard this before, have any of you? I have heard of many pregnant women getting pedicures, especially towards the end when you can no longer reach your feet 
I mean I understand the massage/pressure points thing, but I guess I didn't realize a pedicure was "strong" enough to cause labor.
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: pedicure inducing labor?
I think that this is what it is. There are pressure points in your ankles that can cause contractions. However I don't think it would work to send you into labor unless you were ready anyways.
This. Also the "massage" they tend to give your feet during a pedicure isn't usually the same as the acupressure that would normally be needed to hit those pressure points, or at least this is what I've heard. FWIW, I've had a pedicure while pregnant, and I plan to get one a week from Saturday, my toes need to be done and my feet are way rough. I'm not worried about it sending me into labor.
