Pregnancy can be such a beautiful, exciting time – but it’s not always sunshine and glowing skin. For some mums-to-be, the physical side of pregnancy brings a whole lot of discomfort (and sometimes even pain) that can take a toll.
When those pregnancy symptoms arise, it’s not just your body that feels it – your mood, energy, and overall wellbeing can take a knock too. And with so few safe and effective options out there, it can start to feel overwhelming, even leading to anxiety or low moods. You’re not alone – and the good news is, there are some natural alternatives to feeling better.
Acupuncture: Natural and non-invasive during pregnancy
Acupuncture can be a natural way to help relieve a number of pregnancy-related symptoms, such as Sciatica, Cramps, Threatened miscarriage, Nausea and vomiting, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Back pain, Fatigue and exhaustion, Insomnia, Anxiety and depression, Anaemia, Constipation, Vaginal discharge, Heartburn, Itching, Oedema, Sinusitis, Haemorrhoids and more.

Utilising a combination of modern research & ancient wisdom, acupuncture is used to help return the body back to its most optimal natural balanced state, so that it has the best possible opportunity for a comfortable and healthy pregnancy.
How does Acupuncture help?
Acupuncture may help to reduce stress, regulate hormones, block pain receptors, improve blood flow and maintain homeostasis.
Breech and posterior positions
It is always daunting to hear that your baby is breech in the last couple of months of pregnancy, especially if you are hoping for a natural birth. One particular study has shown that Acupuncture (more specifically moxibustion) may be helpful in turning a mal-positioned foetus.
An Italian study of 260 women experiencing their first pregnancy found that 75% of those treated with acupuncture had their babies turn, in comparison to 47% in those with no treatment. In a similar Chinese study, 81% of the babies turned with acupuncture, compared to 49% in the control group with no treatment.

Clinical trials indicate that Acupuncture may assist in reducing average labour time, and improving the chances of a natural birth. In one particular study carried out on a group of women who were giving birth for the first time, the average labour time was 6 hours in those who received pre-birth acupuncture compared to 8 hours in the control group.
In preparation for birth, acupuncture is recommended from 36 weeks gestation, weekly for 3-4 weeks. Treatment focuses on softening the cervix, relaxing and softening the ligaments, regulating the hormones and reducing stress. Acupuncture may be helpful in encouraging and progressing labour, once the due date is reached.
