reflexology in pregnancy?

[Samandbump]

hi, i am 38 weeks pregnant and having a really bad pregnancy. i am so tired i can barely do the house work, let alone do food shopping. even taking a bath is a lot of effort for me. i have bad swelling in my ankles that makes it uncomfortable to walk and constantly feel sick and light headded. i have alot of pain in my stomach behind my rib cage and am just fed up! I know i only have two weeks to go but a friend reccommended that i try reflexology to induce labour. has any one tried it.. did it work. how much in the uk does it cost roughly?

My cousin's wife is Japanese and she successfully used this technique to induce her own labour. I don't think you'd need to go to a specialist .... that kind of info is normally online. Just use Google Images and see what you get.

The pressure point you're looking for is on the outside of the ankle, I'd say about 1cm out from the knobbly bit, where it's more squishy (hope this makes sense).
