Can I have acupuncture if I'm pregnant?
Yes, absolutely! Acupuncture is an extremely effective, safe and unintrusive therapy for pregnant women in all three trimesters.
As well as being able to treat common problems such as morning sickness, and tiredness, it can also be used to correct more serious problems such breech position babies. It can enhance your overall health: good for you and a newborn baby!
Acupuncture is a wonderful therapy to use during labour, for pain relief and to stop distress. It can help with problems such as excessive bleeding or problems delivering the placenta.
