Acupuncture is a successful treatment method with few risks or side effects for mother and child. Therefore, we use it in our childbirth preparation. Our experience shows that it can alleviate or reduce discomfort during pregnancy. It also helps to shorten the duration of labor.
The needles are inserted into points on the lower leg and foot and remain there for approximately 20 minutes. We recommend starting from the 38th week of pregnancy (37+0) on a weekly basis. Our midwives are specially trained in this and will provide acupuncture treatments until labor begins.
You should not participate if you have premature labor or fever, or if a cesarean section is planned due to breech presentation.
