Pre-labour care

Pre-labour acupuncture treatments

In the weeks leading up to labour it is very important to get enough rest and to develop a reserve of energy that will help you to ground yourself in preparation for labour and to prepare yourself for labour - it is not called 'labour' for nothing! The more you can engage and connect with yourself and your baby energetically, mentally and emotionally at this time, the easier labour should be and the less intervention you may need.

It is always worthwhile investing in pre-labour acupuncture treatment as acupuncture may be able to help you with this process and help to rebalance your energy so that you are able to focus on your task ahead.

Acupuncture treatment at this time is also excellent for supporting the whole of your body's systems and functions thereby alleviating some of the pregnancy symptoms which you are experiencing. You may also wish to think about your labour options, considering your birth plan, and mentally and emotionally preparing for the task of labour.

You might want to consider the Birth Workshop which I run which is designed to enable your birth partner to work closely and effectively with you during birth.
