Prenatal and Postpartum care, and the role of Acupuncture
Prenatal Care: Supporting a Healthy, Comfortable Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings many physical, emotional, and hormonal changes that can cause discomfort. Acupuncture can help with common symptoms like nausea, back pain, sciatica, headaches, constipation, and fatigue. It also supports:
-
Improved Digestion: Promotes better digestion for a more comfortable pregnancy.
-
Better Sleep: Helps with sleep disturbances and promotes relaxation.
-
Stronger Immune System: Boosts immunity to keep you healthy.
-
Hormonal Balance: Helps regulate hormones for a more balanced and relaxed pregnancy.
As you approach your due date, acupuncture can also prepare your body for labor, help baby get into the best position, and encourage labor when needed. With regular treatments, many women find they don’t require induction. Whether you're in the early stages or full-term, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Postpartum Care: Healing and Rebuilding Strength
The postpartum period, or the "fourth trimester," is a critical time for recovery and rest. Acupuncture can help you heal, especially if you’ve had a caesarean section, by:
-
Reducing Swelling & Inflammation: Helps the body recover after childbirth.
-
Boosting Energy: Fights fatigue and restores energy.
-
Hormonal Balance: Eases mood swings, anxiety, and postpartum depression.
-
Supporting Breastfeeding: Increases milk production and relieves issues like mastitis.
Acupuncture provides gentle, drug-free pain relief for back or perineal pain and helps you feel emotionally balanced as you transition into motherhood. We focus on nurturing both your physical and emotional well-being.
