Natural Labour Inducement

Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment to encourage the natural onset of labour. Acupuncture stimulates contractions, dilates the cervix and aims to promote an efficient labour by invigorating and descending a women’s energy to allow the baby to be born.

I find that women call in for appointments close to and post term. From 40 weeks onward’s, from my experience, I recommend having a treatment 2-3 times in the week. Acupuncture can can often facilitate the initiation of contractions. In some cases, one treatment is sufficient, but more commonly, 2-3 treatments are required to sustain contractions. Everyone is different in terms of how they respond.

Acupuncture is also great here if you are feeling stressed. or anxious.
