I had acupuncture starting at 38 weeks. I was trying for a VBAC and knew that the hospital would put pressure on me (which they did). The first time I had acupuncture, the baby dropped as I was standing up from the table. The second time I had contractions for 2 hours afterwards, same with the third time.

I honestly believe that the acupuncture was fantastic in preparation for labour. I went to almost 42 weeks by fighting with the hospital and went into spontaneous labour. I had 2 massages as well to help & the last one was on the day I went into labour.

HTH!!
