I've heard that about massage and pedicures but they both did nothing for my last pregnancy. I tried everything I could find on the internet and my baby was still 10 says late. Good luck!

Yes. Pedicure and massage can send you into labore. There are pressure points that actually trigger contractions.  For that reason, a lot of places will not give pedicures or massage to pregnant women. I actually went in for a prenatal massage and was turned away because I was in my 3rd trimester.
