Acupuncture in Pregnancy & Childbirth
Morning sickness, constipation, insomnia, heartburn and general fatigue all contribute to lessening the positive experience of pregnancy.
Acupuncture is an effective way of relieving the unpleasant symptoms which can be experienced during pregnancy. Conventional medicine tends to consider pregnancy ailments as “par for the course” due to the understandable reluctance in prescribing pharmaceutical drugs. Maximising the mothers health in pregnancy optimises her strength for labour and post natally, and makes pregnancy the positive experience it should be.
