Prenatal Acupuncture
supporting a healthy pregnancy
Acupuncture is safe and effective at any stage of your pregnancy.
Acupuncture and TCM principals can be used to alleviate any uncomfortable symptoms of pregnancy such as nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. I recommend acupuncture throughout the first trimester to manage stress, regulate blood flow and immune function to help you maintain a healthy pregnancy.
Common reasons that people use acupuncture during their pregnancy include:
Morning sickness (including nausea and vomiting)
Pain (including back, hip and headaches)
Stress and anxiety
Insomnia
Carpal tunnel
Swelling in hands and feet
Breach presentation of baby (flip)
Sinus congestion
Labour preparation
Labour encouraging for women who are overdue
At the end of pregnancy from 36 weeks onward, I recommend weekly acupuncture treatments to prepare your body and mind for labour and delivery.
