Acupuncture is a safe treatment during pregnancy.
Each treatment supports the health of your child by supporting the blood flow to the uterine lining and the placenta.
During pregnancy you can send nourishing energy inwards and upwards through acupuncture.
You direct the nourishing energy towards the uterus and, among other things, you support the Spleen energy that promotes an upward movement. Especially in case of repeated miscarriages, it is very important to do these treatments in the first trimester
When you have complaints during pregnancy, you can adjust the energy balance by choosing the relevant points.
For example, in case of nausea, lower or nourish the Stomach energy, in case of headache, lower the energy from the upper region and nourish the Kidney energy, in case of depression support the Blood energy of the Heart and in case of constipation stimulate the moving energy of the Intestines.
Using the Chinese diagnosis, we look at where the complaints come from in your changing body and hormone balance.
In preparation for childbirth, there are treatments available that can support a prosperous delivery.
Research has shown that deliveries last on average two hours shorter and have fewer complications if proper preparation has been made beforehand. This preparation starts from week 37.
Initiating labor can also help after the 40th week, when you use the points that can stimulate contractions (and are therefore prohibited points for the rest of the pregnancy!).
Your child decides when he or she is ready to come, but you can give him a signal that you are ready.
There is a Chinese moxa technique to help turn a breech baby.
This is a simple technique that you can do yourself at home after receiving instructions and the moxa from me.
The optimal treatment time for this is between weeks 32 and 34, but can be done up to week 36 (depending on the space your baby still has).
