That's a shame! But because acupuncture works so directly and intensely in the meridians it can be a bit much when pg I think. Shiatsu is AWESOME though very nurturing and grounding. A more gentle way to get all your energy balanced out. If it hurts too much you might want to try a different practitioner... there are a couple of types of Shiatsu and Zen (or Masunaga) Shiatsu used much more broad pressure than Namikoshi style, but still works on a very deep level. Very relaxing! Also great for inducing labour if you go too far over. Enjoy it!
