Acupuncture can be really useful in pregnancy for dealing with pregnancy related conditions, in preparing for birth, during labour and for post natal conditions.  

At a time when medication is often undesirable it offers an extremely safe and effective alternative treatment, which is also relaxing and calming.

Pregnancy Symptoms that can be treated with Acupuncture:

Morning sickness – Many women put up with morning sickness but it can often be relieved for you.

Nausea and Appetite changes – because pregnancy is much more comfortable when you can eat what you want to.

Digestive problems – Acupuncture may strengthen the digestion and help it cope with restriction and metabolising for two.
