Acupressure, Easter Egg Hunt

Today, I am 39 weeks. So I went to get acupressure done this afternoon to hopefully jumpstart labor. I went to Pilcher Bodyworks, a young lady (her name is Paula) who did a great therapeutic pregnancy massage for me a few weeks back. There are pressure points in your ankles and feet that stimulate the uterus and pituitary gland that can induce labor, if you body is ready. If not (unless a woman has a history of pre-term labor, then this is not a good thing to do), then it won't happen.

So, I got it done and it was kind of relaxing. The pressure points were really tender, and the pathways were easy to open, so Paula doesn't think I will go past my due date at all and it could happen within the next few days. She has had three birth this past week that she predicted pretty well, so we shall see.

My midwife said they don't really start talking induction until the 41st week and that is just a suggestion. They also do tests to make sure the placenta is still working well. However, by the 42nd week, the baby has to get out of there.

We took Gabe to an Easter Egg Hunt at a church nearby and he had fun. Here are a few photos.








That bunny didn't look right, but Gabe was
cool, lol. Although, I've seen more
menacing bunnies.
