How Acupuncture Can Help Reposition a Breech Baby
A breech presentation, where the baby is positioned feet- or bottom-first instead of head-down, occurs in approximately 3-4% of full-term pregnancies. While many babies naturally turn on their own before birth, some remain in a breech position, increasing the likelihood of interventions such as a cesarean section. Fortunately, acupuncture and a traditional Chinese medicine technique called moxibustion offer a natural, non-invasive approach to encouraging a breech baby to turn.
How Acupuncture Supports Labor Induction Naturally
As the due date approaches, many expectant mothers look for natural ways to encourage labour, especially if they are past 40 weeks or facing a scheduled medical induction. Acupuncture offers a gentle, effective method to support the body's natural readiness for labour, promoting relaxation, circulation, and overall well-being.
How Acupuncture Supports Pregnancy and Common Ailments
Pregnancy is a beautiful yet challenging journey, often accompanied by discomforts like nausea, fatigue, back pain, and sleep disturbances. Acupuncture offers a natural, gentle solution to ease these symptoms, promoting overall well-being for both mother and baby. By improving circulation, reducing tension, and supporting the body's natural balance, acupuncture helps expectant mothers feel more comfortable throughout each trimester. It can also aid in labor preparation by encouraging optimal fetal positioning and relaxation.
