Acupuncture is a safe treatment prior to pregnancy and all the way throughout your pregnancy.  An effective, drug-free, and side-effect free alternative to managing your health and wellness, up to and including giving birth and after. Having trouble conceiving? We also offer fertility acupuncture!

Acupuncture can be effective during pregnancy for:

• treating morning sickness and heartburn
• helping to prevent miscarriage
• manage pain: back, hip/pelvic, sciatica, headaches, carpal tunnel
• prevent constipation and bloating
• decrease anxiety
• to help with optimal fetal positioning and breeched babies
• combat fatigue and sleep better

Ready to start preparing for labour?

Starting at 36 weeks, we can help with weekly acupuncture to prepare for birth. A study published in 2006 shows that women who received weekly acupuncture in the 4 weeks prior to birth had:

• a 36% reduction of medical inductions
• a 31% reduction in epidural use
• a 32% reduction in emergency cesarean delivery
• a 9% increase in normal vaginal birth

If you reach 40 weeks and have not given birth yet, we can also help promote labour with acupuncture to speed the process along.

It’s not easy being a new mom!

Acupuncture can help postpartum by:

• increasing milk supply in lactating women
• moderate hormonal changes
• stabilizing mood and help with postpartum depression
• combat fatigue and insomnia
• treat pelvic floor problems, constipation or incontinence
• manage pain: back, hip/pelvic, sciatica, carpal tunnel
