LABOUR AND BIRTH
Acupuncture is also effective in preparing your mind, body and spirit for birth, including naturally softening and preparing the cervix, labour induction and turning a baby who is presenting in a breech position. In some instances where the foetus is not gaining adequate size, acupuncture can help nourish foetal growth by assisting more blood flow being sent to the womb.
- Foetal Growth
- Breech Presentation
- Cervical ripening
- Induction
