During Pregnancy
Safe Treatment
| Acupuncture is a tried and tested system of traditional medicine, which has been used in China and other eastern cultures for thousands of years to restore, promote and maintain good health. Its benefits are now widely acknowledged all over the world, and in the past decade traditional acupuncture has begun to feature more prominently in mainstream healthcare in the UK How safe is acupuncture during pregnancy? Studies carried out on 593 Australian women (Smith et al 2002) concluded that acupuncture is a safe procedure when carried out in pregnancy. For more information please browse the range of fact sheets (eg childbirth) and review papers at: http://acupuncture.org.uk/public-research.html We would recommend you talk to your midwife before embarking on a course of acupuncture with The Acupuncture Fertility Centre. Give us a call to see what we can do for you. |
| Congratulations! You are now pregnant. We can offer you safe and effective treatment throughout your pregnancy. Debbie (32) decided to try acupuncture treatment for morning sickness after everything else failed. 'I was starting to get worried. My first two pregnancies had been comfortable. From the moment I woke up I felt nauseous, and could barely hold even a glass of water down.' Debbie had read about the use of acupuncture for feeling nauseous in a childbirth book. 'It wasn't magic,' she said, 'it took three or four sessions to get to the point where I didn't feel sick all the time, and my acupuncturist was very careful because I was pregnant. There's no doubt it helped, though, and it seemed to help me keep calm as well. A little girl, in case you wondered!' [A real example though unfortunately not treated by us] |

Thankyou for helping my mummy in her early pregnancy. I arrived safe and sound after an uncomplicated labour and am doing very well. I think the acupuncture helped! |

I am almost into the third trimester and have suffered less from poor circulation in my fingers. I can't think of anything that could have been better - so many things were considered such as the temperature of the room which is very important to me. E. Stevens |
