Acupuncture during pregnancy and as a preparation to childbirth
Acupuncture treatment is a very effective way to maintain good health during your pregnancy; it is completely natural and can be used for most of the common complaints that may arise at different stages of your pregnancy. I use acupuncture to help with problems such as morning sickness, fatigue, emotional upsets, and the usual back and pelvic pain, oedema, and digestive problems in the last trimester. Acupuncture can help inducing your birth naturally if you go beyond the due date, or turn the baby in case of a breech presentation.
After the birth of your baby, a few acupuncture treatments or some Chinese herbs will help to restore your energy back to its normal levels.
Acupuncture for morning sickness
Morning sickness often starts early in pregnancy, this is a very common complaint. In some cases it can be very mild, but it can also be very severe. Travel sickness wristbands are designed to stimulate an acupuncture point situated on the wrist that can help to control your morning sickness in addition to treatments. I combine acupuncture with some very effective homeopathic remedies to control morning sickness.
Acupuncture for birth Induction
Acupuncture can be used to help induce a baby naturally if a mother is more than a few days beyond her due date. Treatment for birth induction will make use of special techniques and points that can help to start the contractions. Many mothers who have gone over their due date prefer to try a natural approach before going for any kind of medical induction which can be rather uncomfortable.
Acupuncture for breech presentation
There is a special technique, using moxibustion on a point on the 5th toe that can turn a breech baby into the right position.
This work best before 36 weeks, although I have had some success turning breech babies at 37 and 38 weeks.
Beyond 36 weeks, the baby is now too big to turn completely, but at 34 or 35 weeks there is still enough room to move.
