Everybody's body responds differently, so there is no guarantee. Birth is a natural process, so no matter how much walking, acupuncture, drinking castor oil, and all the natural remedies..your baby is going to come when he or she is ready and when your body is ready. In saying all this, there have been many success stories from women all around the world using acupuncture. Another great benefit pregnant women usually receive from treatment is "relaxation", I've had many moms tell me, how much acupuncture helped prepare them for birth, less anxious and more in a relaxed state of mind.

Depending on how close you are to the due date (or what I like to call “guess date”) determines how often you should be seen for treatments. If you’re within a week of your due date, due now, or overdue, acupuncture is recommended every day. While more is better, that isn't always feasible, so how often is really based upon what works for you. I do offer at-home visits for my pregnant patients so they can be comfortable in their own environment.
