i found that after 2 sessions i got a bloody show. HOWEVER, i was already 10 days overdue so i dunno if it was gonna happen then anyway. they wouldnt treat me til i was 7 days overdue.. so i dunno whether i would do it again. maybe if i could have done it at due date or just over.

Nope not for me and that was after 5 sessions but Im doing it this time too as I had a really good birth so if it contributed to that then Im all for it. It cant hurt anyway can it

I don't think induction accupuncture will work to bring on bub before it's due

I think it's a wonderful tool to relax and recharge you. I came out of my sessions feeling so invigorated. I had my bub the next day after my last session and my labour was quick, easy and awesome

Well I had an appointment with my OB yesterday and bubs still hasn't engaged. So I had another session today which was a bit more aggressive, so I'm hoping that it may do the trick or at least encourage bubs to move down. Annsam I hadn't thought about it contributing to a better labor, but now that you've pointed that out I feel a bit better about it even if it doesn't get any action happening.

i just remembered my acupuncturist left a series of small needles in my lower back to help with pain relief in labour. hmm.. it still hurt like hell, but i coped better than i did first time round.
