Acupuncturist or Foot Reflexologist to Bring on Labor Referrals?

[kaje62]

Not sure if you all know but I have been struggling with moderate high blood pressure and bedrest the past 6 weeks. I am due in 4 days and am hoping to VBAC. I agreed to a c-section scheduled for August 15th if baby does not come by then. Anyway they are talking inducement in the past two visits because the placenta has degraded to a 3 and the blood pressure continues to be an issue and I want to avoid gels etc..because of chances of uterine rupture.

So I would like to try alternatives.

Does anyone know of an local acupuncturist who may be comfortable helping augment labor or a foot reflexologist that might be able to help me? My acupucnturist has done this but does not feel comfortable with my blood pressure issues. I have not seen her in three years but appreciate her honesty with her comfort level.

Thanks all.

Autumn helped me to find a good reflexologist. And I was leaning on going today but got caught up in finding out we need our air conditioning and our brakes completely redone on our car. I was leaning towards the foot work cuz it is not as aggressive as an accupuncturist and with the issues of blood pressure and all felt intimidated.

And then tonite I feel like taking the aggressive route. So anyone got a good accupuncturist to lead me to?
