Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are used to improve the chance of a positive pregnancy outcome. Studies have been conducted showing positive outcomes for many conditions during pregnancy including back and pelvic pain (1), increasing blood circulation to the uterus and pain reduction during labour (1).
At Haynes Acupuncture we have specifically designed a treatment plan to support you and provide the best results as you go through the stages of pregnancy. Let us walk you through.
Acupuncture is performed weekly up until 12 weeks to help prevent miscarriage, improve microcirculation to uterus and ovaries, possible nausea (1), possible stress and anxiety (1).
After 12 weeks of pregnancy acupuncture is usually performed every 3-4 weeks to assist maintaining a healthy pregnancy and help with any possible musculoskeletal discomforts such as back or pelvic pain (1). If you have any other symptoms during this period, acupuncture may also be increased to weekly.
Acupuncture is performed at weeks 32, 34, and 36 as pre induction, to assist with position of the baby and getting mum and bub ready for birth.
Acupuncture is performed at weeks 37, 38, 39, and finally 40 weeks. Depending on each case and whether there are any other symptoms such as malposition of fetus, back or pelvic pain (1), acupuncture may be performed more frequently, though it is usually unlikely. We also teach mothers, partners or friends, acupressure for reduction of labour pain. (1)
Acupuncture can assist with post partum depression (2) and often the use of Chinese herbs are integrated as a compliment to treatment.
