Supporting Your Pregnancy from Conception to Childbirth, Naturally.

For a lot of women, pregnancy is the time when they become deeply aware of their inner strength and exactly what their body is capable of doing!

Our bodies go through such transformation during those months of gestation, and when labour begins, and the cascade of hormonal changes triggers the birthing process, we can but trust our body and breathe deeply, drawing on the knowledge that women have been doing this since time began and we do have the strength and energy to cope – even after hours, maybe days, of contractions!

Supporting this natural process in an holistic way is why TCM Acupuncture is so suited to pregnancy care and why I am a member of the Acupuncture Childbirth Trust.

We are a group of experienced and well qualified TCM Acupuncturists offering specialist treatment for:

• Fertility
• Pregnancy
• Bringing on Labour
• Childbirth
• Post-natal care

We have all undertaken post-graduate study into fertility and pregnancy care, and meet regularly to discuss the latest research and maintain our high standards of best practice.

How does TCM Acupuncture help in fertility and pregnancy?

TCM Acupuncture is a wonderful therapy to aid conception, pregnancy and childbirth.  It is safe, well established and has no record of any adverse effects.  From simple acupressure techniques that ease morning sickness right through to pain relief during childbirth, the extent to which the techniques can be used makes it an integral part of any pregnancy plan.

Acupuncture can;

• Improve sperm maturation and balance testosterone levels to assist healthy conception
• Regulate levels of female reproductive hormones during the menstrual cycle to assist fertility
• Increase relaxation and reduce tension – vital during labour, but also during the stressful process of fertility treatments like IVF
• Ease symptoms of nausea and morning sickness – which for many women, is actually all-day-sickness!
• Stimulate the release of endorphins and mood chemicals during labour to enhance natural pain-relief mechanisms
• Assist in turning a breech baby in preparation for a natural delivery
• Offer essential post-natal care.  In Chinese Medicine the 40 days following childbirth are a crucial time for the new Mum to regain her energy levels and adapt to the physical and emotional changes of post-pregnancy.  Acupuncture can support mood balance, milk production, healing and energy levels.

Pregnancy and childbirth are experiences unique to each individual which makes TCM Acupuncture the ideal therapy for support.  I take into account your health history and constitutional type and all treatments are personalised to suit your specific needs.
