Yes, treatment by a licensed acupuncturist during pregnancy is safe and effective.
Yes it is!
Acupuncture can be helpful in reducing some of the discomforts of pregnancy such as nausea, back pain, sleeplessness, and emotional issues. However, there are certain considerations for acupuncture treatments during pregnancy for example: what is the current trimester and are there any adverse conditions that require unusual caution. An experienced and licensed acupuncturist or Diplomate of Oriental Medicine will know if these situations prohibit an acupuncture treatment. If acupuncture is not possible, many acupuncturists are trained and experienced in other gentle therapies such as Tui Na (a type of massage), cool (non fire) cupping (which helps circulation), and acupressure.
Acupuncture can be very beneficial for mommy and baby. I had a professor that taught me about a “happy mommy happy baby” treatment. It’s a treatment that helps ease the common digestive issues and fetal frustrations common in pregnancy(ies). Of course, ask your ob/gyn and primary if you’re at risk, then make sure to let your practitioner (acupuncturist) know you’re pregnant.

If you don’t have any problems, then you don’t need acupuncture treatment.
Absolutely! I treat women during their entire pregnancy. Each trimester usually offers a different set of issues. In the beginning, it's bloating, cravings, nausea or vomiting, and crazy hormone levels. Acupuncture is exceptional at treating these issues. Sciatica, Bells Palsey, HBP, are also rare, but are issues that have occurred within a small percent of women during their 2nd trimester. Extensive bloating, bearing down feeling on the bladder, ankle swelling and even breeching the baby are some of acupuncture's greatest strengths come the 3rd trimester. So, yes, it would be an amazing benefit to add acupuncture weekly to your pregnancy routine.
Keep up the great work!

Acupuncture can be great during pregnancy! Your body is very busy growing a human, which can be tiring and lead to unpleasant side effects. Acupuncture can help with those by keeping the body balanced and healthy during pregnancy to ensure both mom and baby are happy and healthy!
It’s OK. Just make sure the doctor is one that treats pregnant women there are a few points that are Contraindicated
Yes. What month are you in? For those in the first trimester, it's great to help your body adjust to being pregnant and to help get you through any morning sickness or other issues. In the final trimester, I would be helping you prepare for childbirth or address any issues such as back pain, indigestion or breech positioning. Please let me know if you have any specific questions.
Yes, There are points that help with any side effects like nausea and back pain as well as points for a healthy baby. There are some points that are not to be used like abdominal points but there are many that are great to help. There are also points to turn the baby if it is breach as well as to help with the contractions during delivery. You can learn to use the pressure points during delivery to help.
Acupuncture can be done during pregnancy. It can help to support pregnancy along with other possible symptoms that you may experience during pregnancy.
First of all, congrats on your pregnancy!!!
Acupuncture is neither good nor bad for pregnancy. During the first trimester, certain points are contraindicated, as the fetus is in its most vulnerable state. Acupuncture is safe, effective and has been recommended to treat nausea, tiredness and symptoms associated with pregnancy including post-partum depression after delivery. It can help with a smoother transition between stages of pregnancy. Good luck!!!

Yes, it’s great for morning sickness, digestion, energy, and helping at the end of pregnancy to have a smooth delivery.

Yes, acupuncture provides a wonderful approach to soothing the myriad discomforts that can happen during pregnancy. And it does so by focusing your own healing powers on restoring balance while at the same time, providing a state of calm and deep relaxation- good for you and for baby!
Acupuncture can be beneficial during pregnancy especially to help with nausea, low back pain, headaches, and stress. It is very important that you tell your acupuncturist that you are pregnant as there are several points on the body that are contraindicated during pregnancy because they are very stimulating and could induce early labor. That said these same points could be very useful if you are past due. Acupuncture can also be very useful in turning a breech baby. The best idea is to ask your OB-GYN or midwife to share your records and collaborate with a Licensed acupuncturist to ensure the best possible treatment for you.
Try to get herbal supplement for that.
Absolutely! Acupuncture can support a healthy pregnancy while also reducing morning sickness, low back pain and other discomfort. Just make sure to see someone who is fully licensed by the NCCAOM.
Hello, yes, acupuncture can support a healthy pregnancy as well as treat morning sickness, low back pain, round ligament pain and more! Please be sure to see an acupuncturist who is fully licensed by the NCCAOM, for a safe and effective treatment.
Absolutely. Continuing acupuncture throughout the pregnancy can ease the symptoms of pregnancy and ultimately aid with the ease of labor and delivery.
For gestational nausea/morning sickness or lower back pain, very helpful.
Yes.
Hello! Yes it can, there is a specialty in acupuncture that will treat OG/BYN conditions such as pregnancy.
Often yes, with much success.
Yes, but there are points that are to be avoided during pregnancy. So long as your practitioner knows that you are pregnant, you will be safe.
I don't quite understand which question you're asking so I will explain two versions. If you are trying to get pregnant and am asking if acupuncture can help that happen, then yes, acupuncture can be very good for you. There are many clinics that specialize in fertility, so I would advise to seek them out.
If you ARE pregnant and wonder if acupuncture is safe while you're pregnant again the answer is yes, but the practitioner needs to know your condition so they can act accordingly to keep your baby and yourself safe and in best health.

Acupuncture will not hurt you. It will balance your Qi and help you emotionally and physically.
Be well, be confident, we can help.

It is good for pregnancy, but please don't put needles on some areas, it will cause you to have an abortion. Talk to your acupuncturist when you are ready for acupuncture treatment.
If you are already pregnant and wanting to utilize acupuncture to help manage aches, pains or first trimester nausea and vomiting, yes, it can be an excellent treatment choice and extremely safe.
In this case, it's fairly critical that you see a provider who is licensed as an acupuncturist in your state. Make sure the person you see attended and graduated from a school of Chinese medicine, carries a state practice license for acupuncture and, if you're not in CA, they should also be NCCAOM board certified.
The reason this is important is classically in Chinese medicine there are acupuncture points which are contraindicated in pregnancy - these points are theorized to cause miscarriage. A trained practitioner of Chinese medicine will know these points and know to avoid them when treating a pregnant woman. Other providers may not "believe" in the classical information and may attempt to use one of more of these points anyway.
