Possible Risks of Acupuncture During Pregnancy
There is no strong association between triggering the forbidden points and harmful effects on babies or pregnant women. However, there are still some possible risks of acupuncture during pregnancy. Several minor problems include headaches, irritability, nausea, faintness, dizziness, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, infection, redness, bleeding, feeling hot, sweating, and pain. Also, acupuncture may stimulate cervical change and uterine contractions. Thus, make sure to consult your doctor if you are concerned about preterm labor or some other issues mentioned above. [7]
