Acupuncture in preparation for birth

[all girls]

I had acupuncture to bring on labour, i started about 37 weeks as my DH was going overseas a few days after my due date, my chiro does it and as i have been seeing them for a few years they didn't mind doing it a little early he said the closer to the due date the better chances of it working i had it twice and each time felt contractions a few hours later i was booked in for my third one but went into labour the night before. I also had naturopath mixture which was vile i actually vomitted once after taking it. Yucky!!

I had a very quick labour 49 minutes and probably both things contributed.

Good luck

I am a bit of a wuzz! Does it hurt, otherwise I like to give it ago?

It's a bit strange actually. I felt them go in which didn't really hurt but I found my right hand felt sore the whole time. With my right leg as well I moved & felt like a cramp al the way down to my toes but that eased off afte a minute or so.
