Did induction acupuncture work for you?

[Miss E]

HI there,

Would love to hear your experiences with induction acupuncture. I've had two sessions now and nothing seems to be happening. Before I started I did have a couple of false alarms, but since starting the acupuncture nothing other than a few period like pains.

I know I've started it a little earlier than most, but my OB was happy for me to give it a go now because I apparently have a large baby with a particularly large head.

Anyway, I was just wondering if you've tried induction acupuncture, if it worked for you and how many sessions you had?

Thanks!

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
