Sanyinjiao SP-6 andHegu L.I.-4 Acupressure can be used for several minutes on each point. If possible Hegu L.I.-4 on one hand can be used in combination with the Sanyinjiao SP-6 point of the opposite leg. Ten minutes later this combination can be repeated starting with Hegu L.I.-4 on the opposite hand. Cervical Lip This is when, although the woman feels the urge to push, the cervix has not yet dilated fully. The cervix then has a swollen "lip" which makes it difficult to achieve full dilation. The woman will be told not to push by her midwife or doctor. If this becomes a problem during labour Sanyinjiao SP-6 and Ciliao BL-32 can be used. Strong pressure with your knuckles is applied into Ciliao BL-32 for up to ten minutes. If possible pressure to Sanyinjiao SP-6 can also be used in combination. Failure To Progress During Second Stage If a woman is fully dilated but there are problems in pushing the baby down through the birth canal firm acupressure to Jianjing GB-21 and Hegu L.I.-4 can be applied for 5-10 minutes.
