Acupunture

Has anyone continued acupunture after their :bfp: I didnt with my son but it been suggested that I do it until 12 weeks

Hi Jessie,

Congrats on your BFP!!! :dance:

I didnt continue with acupuncture but have heard it can help with morning sickness if you suffer from it. Luckily, I didnt :D

Wishing you a H & H pg :D

Cheers,

yup......I still go...was twice a week till 12 weeks but the acupuncturist says I only need to go once a week now.....I will continue to keep going for the rest of the pregnancy because I feel I get real benefits from it in so many areas...had minimal morning sickness, have a sticky bubba (yay!!) and I find it very de-stressing and focussing for me.....I love my acunpuncture sessions!!

Yeah, I still go weekly. I'm getting really bad all day nausea and the acu is totally helping with that.
I fully intend on going right through to term. It got me through my IVF cycle and it will help get me through my pregnancy too.

I love my sessions.

Thanks guys! Do you think that the acupunture helps make the little embryos implant well?

Yes, it is meant to.
Having a session immediately before and after ET is meant to be best practice for good results.

What about once you get a :bfp: it the acupunture supposed to help to prevent miscarriage or just to help with morning sickness?

yes i continued to have it til 12 wks and then from 34 wks onwards
it can help with preventing m/c and morning sickness and energy levels. they will alter pts acccording to your symptoms.
there are also chinese herbs that help w morning sickness. good luck!

I haven't discussed this with my acu yet, but a friend recommended weekly for the 1st and 3rd trimester and monthly for the 2nd trimester.

I'm having FET on Friday, but I'm worried about having accupuncture.

Does anyone know of the specific points they 'treat' or activate?

I plan on continuing my acupuncture sessions all the way through my pregnancy and am having it weekly like I always have.

Although, I have to say, it isn't helping with my all day sickness one little bit. *Sigh*

But it is keeping me relaxed and is making sure I have some definite planned "me" time at least once a week.

Sue...does your acupunturist use the tacks that they leave in? I found they were awesome...I had three placed on specific points...one on my stomach area and two on my decolletage area.....you massage them from time to time and they would last all week almost till the next session...those and blackmores morning sickness formula exactly every 8 hours helped heaps....
