Acupuncture is a fantastic way to help prepare the body for birth and may assist in shortening labour duration and intensity. Startingat 37 weeks, treatments are once a week and can help to centre you and prepare you for the final step before motherhood.
Pre-Labour Acupuncture may help to improve circulation to the uterus, cervix and the lower back to reduce the intensity of contraction waves. It can also lower stress hormones, so that birthing hormones can build gradually. In the case of a breech presentation, a special treatment at 34 weeks can encourage the baby to turn naturally. If your due date has come and gone, acupuncture can help initiate the process of labour.
We are so happy for your pending delivery and excited to continue to be part of your pregnancy and birth!
