Acupuncture

Who has had acupuncture during pregnancy and for what reason??

I had it when dd was breech to try turn her.

I had a bad birth with dd she was also posterior. Im wondering if having acupuncture would help things this time

You mean posterior to anterior? I have never had acupuncture, I'm a bit of a wuss. Also doesn't it cost quite a bit? You might find me a bit ignorant about this :D

My MW would do accupuncture for $10 a session. But the pregnancy specialist I saw charged me between $40-60 depending on what she did.

Swimming is great for spinning bubs. I had a posterior birth with daniel. Alex was posterior and breech the lil monkey but swimming sorted him out.. and all my pains

I had it to help me get pregnant, to help with M/S, and to induce me when i was over.

Bowie, i had it once on my due date to help my body prepare for labour than once when i was 10 days over. He told me i would go into labour within 24hrs and it was just over that.
I would ask if the practioner has worked with preg people before and especially if they do it to induce labour. And maybe if they give any naturopathic stuff afterwards? (I got given some drops as well). Good luck hun, being overdue SUCKS!

I had it this time for morning sickness, it didn't get rid of it but I think it helped a lot, as in I stopped actually spewing up.

I had it when I was pregnant with Riley at 38.5 weeks to help prepare my body for labour, I got the start of my show that night and two days later I went into the early stages of labour and he was born the next morning. They also put in a couple of needles for heartburn and sciatica and both disappeared straight away.

I was a sceptic before this but am a convert now! Oh and it cost $50 but was so worth it and no kalimirella the needles dont hurt, in fact I barely felt most of them apart from when they wriggle them and even that was nothing.

Hi , I am having accupuncture at the moment cos I'm 7 weeks preg with number 2 and have been having some trouble sleeping. It definitely helps and has given a bit of alleviation of the morning sickness too, though it's still very much there! I had reflexology to try and shift my son who was 18 days late. It didn't work in my case (he was determined to stay put) but does work in many cases and may be more appealing to those who don't like needles. However if baby and Mum are healthy I'm a believer in not worrying too much about due dates, let them come in their own sweet time. .

Rach can you pm me the number please. Good idea i might book for june. You can refer yourself i think.
