I haven’t heard of the shoulder pressure point, but it sounds like it might! And I have heard of stripping the membranes!

Half way between the base of your neck and outside of your shoulder. don’t know if it actually works but it was on the list of spots not to push on for pregnant women. The one on the ankle works so well because its the reflexology point for the uterus. same with the spot on the hand.

We were trying to hurry our little one along for insurance purposes! (It expired 3 days after she was born) We tried a few things. In the end my doctor was on board with the idea and did something called stripping the membranes… Slightly uncomfortable,, but i started having contractions at probably 8 o’clock that night and was ready to go to the hospital at 4am the next morning!

I was actually enjoying a cup when I went into labor three days early with my second! As you’re sipping it you can feel slight contractions, it’s pretty crazy! From beginning to end my labor + delivery was 3.5 hours with my first and 2.5 with my second.

I’m sorry! Pregnancy can be rough. I have allergies, too and they seem to be a lot worse this time (probably because it’s summer!). I hope it gets better for you!

Hubby suggested we do ‘IT’ one last time since it would be at least a few weeks. Sex worked, I went from 20 to 1.5minutes in less than half an hour.
