Does acupuncture hurt?
When the needles are inserted it feels like nothing more than a pinch on the skin, if that. Once inserted and left for a period of time the body feels heavy and relaxed and sometimes tingly, the majority of people nap during their session and leave feeling extremely relaxed.
How does acupuncture help me fall pregnant?
Acupuncture is very good at promoting blood circulation throughout our body. It is thought that by promoting good circulation to your ovaries and uterus acupuncture promotes egg quality and healthy uterine lining. Acupuncture also has a calming effect on the nervous system which in turn supports the production of healthy hormones. So whether you are TTC naturally or with ART/IVF acupuncture can support the process.
when should I start acupuncture for birth preparation?
There has been a little bit of research on this topic, if using acupuncture to support and encourage a spontaneous labour. It has been shown that starting acupuncture at 36 weeks and having weekly treatments yield much better results than start at 40 weeks plus.
