Acupuncture can support a healthy pregnancy by addressing these trimester symptoms:

First trimester-sets the foundation for healthy pregnancy. It can address morning sickness, vomiting, fatigue and headaches.

Second trimester-offers relief and balances the body from common complaints. It helps to alleviate heartburn, hemorrhoids, stress, sleep problems, edema, elevated blood pressure and weight gain.

Third trimester-prepares the body for labor and delivery. It helps to alleviate sciatica, hip joint, pubic and back pain.

Also post-partum-helps the body with healing from birthing, both physically, energetically and emotionally. It encourages the production of sufficient milk supply and hormonal balance, soothes fatigue, and calms the mind which helps new moms (and dads too) adapt to the new stressors of parenthood.
