The Best Solution Ever for Pregnancy Ailments
Congratulations! You're knocked up. Your hormones are crazy and you might be feeling a tad crappy. You turn to the internet (or your doctor, I suppose) and you discover that you're not allowed to take anything you would normally take for all your ailments.
What to do? Try acupuncture, of course.
Acupuncture during pregnancy is awesome. I know because I hardly got any during mine due to some dreadful bed rest. I wish I'd had more. But I treat a lot of pregnant women and they all have relatively easy pregnancies or are alleviated of those pesky pregnancy bonuses quicker than most.
Acupunture can help with:
Morning sickness aka Nausea/vomiting
Fatigue
Constipation
Aches and pains
Leg cramps (Charlie Horses are the worst!)
Stress/anxiety
Insomnia
As a bonus, women who get acupuncture during pregnancy tend to spend less time in labor and generally have less complications and interventions overall.
How Often Should I Go?
I'll leave that up to you and your acupuncturist. It may vary depending which trimester you're in, but about once every week to two weeks would be ideal. More frequent visits toward the end are common.
Acupuncture may not be able to help your waddle but, it will help keep you at ease and feeling balanced overall.
