Acupressure Points For Pregnancy
Acupressure can help in preventing episiotomy and tearing. A preliminary study has shown that you can avoid the need for an episiotomy or tearing of the perineum during childbirth if you practice acupressure during the third trimester and labor.
Acupressure seems to work best as a preventative measure, not just during childbirth itself. Women who only performed acupressure during labor weren’t nearly as successful in avoiding episiotomy and tearing as those who practiced it every day for a period of time prior to labor.
How does it work? Stimulation of specific acupressure points for pregnancy actually makes the tissue of the perineum more flexible and helps it to relax. This allows it to stretch more easily as the baby’s head passes through, preventing a tear and the need for an episiotomy. Considering how frequently these incisions are performed on pregnant women, it’s unfortunate that so few people are aware of the benefits of acupressure.
