At Rozelle Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine (RACM), we are dedicated to supporting you during your pregnancy journey, particularly in preparing you for labor. Starting at around 36 weeks, we recommend scheduling weekly acupuncture sessions to aid in this process.
How Does Acupuncture Help in Labor Preparation?
Our experienced practitioners use fine acupuncture needles strategically in specific areas to help:
- Soften the cervix to promote readiness for labor.
- Relax the muscles to ease any tension and prepare your body for childbirth.
- Enhancing Blood Circulation – Improves oxygen and nutrient flow to the uterus and baby, supporting a healthy delivery.
- Upporting Hormonal Balance – Stimulates oxytocin production, which plays a key role in natural labor progression.
- Promoting Relaxation and Reducing Anxiety – Helps calm the nervous system, reducing stress and promoting emotional well-being before birth.
A Collaborative Approach to Pregnancy Care
At RACM, we work closely with your OB-GYN and/or midwife to ensure a holistic and supportive approach to your pregnancy and labor preparation. Our goal is to help you feel confident, comfortable, and well-prepared as your due date approaches.
