Pre-Birth Acupuncture Series
Acupuncture is beneficial for supporting both mother and baby for childbirth. Towards the end of pregnancy, acupuncture can help:

Prepare the cervix and pelvic floor to relax and soften for labor
Reduce labor times
Keep mom calm, grounded, and relaxed
Redirect malposition of the baby, if needed
Pre-birth acupuncture is a series of weekly treatments that begin around week 32. These sessions include discussion on ways to reduce labor pains naturally and minimize the need for unwanted medical intervention.
