NEED A NUDGE GETTING INTO LABOUR?

Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment to help initiate contractions and bring on labour in women who are full-term (40 weeks), ready and waiting. 

Acupuncture involves the superficial insertion of very fine, sterile, single use needles which stimulate specific reactive points on the body, scientifically shown  to help labour  commence naturally. 

Acupuncture is a less invasive, more gentle alternative for women wanting to try to avoid a medical induction.

Acupuncture allows the body to go into labour more gradually and naturally than the medical methods which are very effective but at the same time tend to be very confronting and often cause the sudden and severe onset of painful contractions. 

The average time from having a treatment to the onset of labour can range from just a few hours to one day.  Sometimes a second treatment is needed.     The ideal time to have acupuncture is at the beginning of the 40th week.
