PSA to the soon-to-give-birth: third eye pressure spot

[sonrisa]

In between your eyes, but up a bit between your brow ridge there is a third eye pressure point. That is the world's bestest bestest bestest pain management trick during early and mid labor (for me). Put pressure on it with your thumb and just keep rubbing (When seated, I form my hand into the hitch hiking pose, fist out, thumb pointed up but back in. That way I can rest my elbow on my knee and use gravity for some of the force. Almost Rodin's thinker style).  A midwife turned nurse told me about it last time and I wanted to kiss her WWII-sailor-in-times-square style. It made such a difference. This time, I find it helps with braxton hicks discomfort.

I am going to ask my doula about this, thanks!
