As the others have said, Acupuncture generally doesn't hurt. I have had it through both pregnancies. I did have induction acupuncture with DD too and it was very strong and uncomfortable for the last couple of sessions though. She was almost 2 weeks overdue and we were really trying to get her out and I had the needles as well as the electrode things hooked into them. So induction acupuncture is a little different to what you normally would get and much stronger.
