Everything You Need to Know about Acupuncture During Pregnancy

Acupuncture During Pregnancy

More and more people are interested in the use of acupuncture during pregnancy. This is partly because several healthcare experts and limited research believe that this practice may improve fertility in those who want to conceive. Also, many doctors have used acupuncture to help alleviate pain and discomfort during and after delivery. This can be a safer option for pain relief compared to opioids. In addition, many women turn to this practice to relieve common illnesses during pregnancy triggered by hormone changes, such as headaches, vomiting, and nausea. Since acupuncture for pregnant women has not been examined comprehensively, it can be hard to claim whether it is completely effective or safe. Make sure to consult your doctor before deciding to try acupuncture. [3]
