Getting Labour Started
Acupuncture works in a few different ways to help you get your birth going. Firstly, we like to look at removing obstructions to allow for a flowing birth. So we try and help your hips be balanced and open, we help you feel calmer going into the birth and the transition into motherhood, we also look at your energy levels – we want you to have as much energy as you can to have a good strong birth, and have energy left over for feeding and those sleepless nights ! We can also help position the baby so they are in an optimal position allowing for an easier birth. Once we have helped you clear the way for an easier birth we can use acupuncture to give your body signals to get things moving – there are acupuncture points that help ripen the cervix, stimulate the uterus, and if you are already in pre-labour, there are points that help strengthen and regulate your contractions.
Let us help you move into labour naturally with acupuncture PLUS we give you plenty of useful tips on how to get things started.
