I had acupuncture from about 36 weeks last time and will be starting at 34 wks this time... i swear by it (also used it for conception this time with great success). I went into labour at 39 wks and had a fab labour and recovery. I never had 'induction' acupuncture, but i asked for acupuncture to prepare the body for labour and i do think this wil help. it is also great for relaxation and aches and pains. i highly recommend you go see someone who specialises in women's health and see what they recommend for you (everyone is different). good luck!
