Women who are at risk of miscarrying are usually advised to receive acupuncture treatments three months before conception and also during the first trimester of their pregnancy to stabilize it. The frequency and duration of the treatments may vary depending on the individual needs and preferences of the woman, but a typical schedule may be once or twice a week for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Acupuncture is generally considered safe and well-tolerated by most women, but it is important to consult with a qualified and experienced acupuncturist who specializes in fertility and pregnancy care. Acupuncture should also be used as a complementary therapy, not a substitute for conventional medical care. Women who experience any signs or symptoms of miscarriage, such as bleeding, cramping, or severe pain, should seek immediate medical attention.
