Pre Birth Acupuncture:
Preparing for Birth: Our Pre-Birth Acupuncture comprises a series of 4-5 weekly sessions, beginning at week 36 of your pregnancy. These sessions are thoughtfully designed to support your body in entering labor naturally and ensuring a smooth and uncomplicated progression once it commences. Importantly, it is not a labor induction technique and does not trigger labor.
Pre-birth acupuncture has been shown to:
- Decrease the duration of the first stage of labor (from 3 cm dilation to full dilation) by an average of 2 hours.
- Lower the induction rates in first-time moms by 43% and 35% in others.
- Reduce the use of epidurals by 31%.
- Decrease the rate of emergency C-sections by 32%.
- Enhance vaginal birth rates by 9%.
