Anyone found these useful in getting labour started?
I'm 39+6 today, seriously fed up and can be booked in for reflexology on Monday when I am officially overdue!!
No idea of cost or what they involve but I'm willing to try ANYTHING now!
Have walked solidly for 6 hours today to no avail :(

i tried accupuncture with ds3 who was over 2wks late, it def gave me contractions afterwards, i still ended up being induced but was already 5cm dilated and they just broke my water and then he was born after a 3hr labour.

I tried acupuncture. She was very nice and claimed she had a great success rate in getting things started but only if you were already "ready". She reckoned I was ready and proclaimed I'd start within 48 hours. Unfortunately I didn't. Still don't regret it though! Was a great distraction and felt I was doing something to take control!
