Prebirth Acupuncture I rightly recommend pre-birth acupuncture to all pregnant ladies that come through my door.
Pre-birth acupuncture is a series of weekly treatments from week 36 to week 40/42. The focus of the treatments is to soften and ripen the cervix, relax the pelvis, help position the baby in the best presentation, promote relaxation and build up energy reserves ahead of childbirth.
Data on 169 women was gathered by 14 midwives as part of their midwifery practice in New Zealand and it found that when comparing all caregivers (Midwives GP’s and Specialists) to those women who had received prebirth acupuncture there was:
- An overall 35% reduction in the number of inductions (for women having their first baby this was a 43% reduction)
- A 31% reduction in the epidural rate.
When comparing midwifery only care to women receiving prebirth acupuncture there was:
- A 32% reduction in emergency caesarean delivery
- and a 9 % increase in normal vaginal births.
Women who receive prebirth acupuncture also have shorter labours with more efficient contractions.
