I'm getting an increasing number of enquiries about when is the best time to have acupuncture during pregnancy?

It all depends on how you are feeling and what stage of your pregnancy you are at.

First trimester acupuncture treatments commonly focus on early pregnancy signs and symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, stress, low energy levels. Also, acupuncture can be used to reduce the risks of miscarriage.

Second trimester acupuncture treatments are less often and generally only occur if there are certain concerns that Dr Sharlane needs to address. Monthly or six weekly appointments are recommended if the expectant mother is feeling well.

Third trimester acupuncture treatments focus on birth preparation. At around 32-34 weeks, Dr Sharlane advises weekly acupuncture to prepare you physically and emotionally forbirth and to promote spontaneous labour.

Acupuncture isn't one size fits all. It's all about tailoring treatments to fit your unique needs. Each session is designed to balance your body's energy and help you naturally.
