Acupuncture plays a significant role in supporting expecting families through the various stages of pregnancy.

During the first trimester, acupuncture can help reduce common symptoms such as morning sickness, headaches, fatigue, constipation, and mood swings.

As pregnancy progresses into the second trimester, acupuncture can help strengthen the mother’s immune system and promote healthy fetal growth.

During the third trimester, acupuncture helps prepare the body for labor by alleviating pain in areas such as the pubic symphysis, tailbone, hips, neck, low back, and wrists. It can also help regulate uterine contractions, promote sleep, and relax tight muscles to improve blood circulation in preparation for delivery.
