There are many tools that you can use in your pregnancy journey, and acupuncture is an effective one. This help can start and last all throughout your pregnancy.
Prenatal acupuncture can help to reduce stress, support relaxation, and more during your pregnancy.
One of the biggest risks during your pregnancy is physical and mental stress. It’s important to address this stress and acupuncture is a great way to do that.
“A growing body of research shows that prenatal stress can have significant effects on pregnancy, maternal health and human development across the lifespan.”
— Dr. Mary Coussons-Read, Obstetric Medicine, June 2013
Acupuncture during your pregnancy can help alleviate your stress, resulting in a healthy pregnancy. Furthermore, in a recent study, when pregnant women received acupuncture as part of their prenatal care, they experienced:
- 35% fewer medical inductions
- 31% fewer epidurals
- 32% less emergency C-section delivery
- 9% less complicated vaginal births

We love helping patients like Emma during their pregnancy! Check out this amazing review we received from her:
“Melanie has been an incredible source of information, calm and support during the first trimester of my pregnancy. I struggled with severe nausea, gagging/ retching, strong food aversions and morning sickness since week 5 and I am now 11 weeks. The acupuncture helped to battle the symptoms when medication did not which was relief as it took a while to convince my doc that the meds were not working! Needless to say it’s been rough and during this time Melanie suggested at home remedies, simple food & drink swaps and routine changes. With Melanie’s help, I feel like I have slowly regained some normality in my life and would happily recommend her to anyone! Thank you so, so much!!”
