I had the accupuncture the day my waters broke because the hossy said I only had 48 hours to have him before they induced me. They do 2 types for birth - one is to help your body to get ready and the other is to bring on labor. I had the latter at about 9am and was having irregular contractions at 3 30pm-ish.
I think they recommend you start with just preparing you body then progress to the actual induction later on.
My accupuncturist (um is that a word?) said it usually takes 2 or 3 sessions for the induction treatment to work. So you might be in for a couple of sessions.
Hahaha, I hear that's good stuff it's good for ripening/readying the cervix. From memory there is an optimal time to start using it I can't remember exactly when, most important thing was not to start it too early, and you're not so go the raspberry leaf!
