Acupuncture can be used effectively at all stages of pregnancy. It is well known for its ability to relieve some of the more common pregnancy related symptoms such as nausea, fatigue and back pain. Importantly, treatments can be beneficial to both the expectant mother and baby, helping to relieve stress (stress isn’t good for you or your baby) and to promote a relaxing and enjoyable pregnancy. Many women are also looking for drug free solutions to medical problems. Acupuncture is safe and effective for many of the symptoms of pregnancy.
There have been many studies of the treatment of pregnancy related conditions with acupuncture. Research has suggested that it may help improve the blood flow to the uterus and to boost energy levels. Other beneficial effects have been found and the following are samples of research:

Brook has trained with Zita West, a leading fertility and pregnancy expert. He is a member of the Zita West National Network of Afilliated Acupuncturists. Brooke's reputation in the area of reproductive health and pregnancy support has meant that there has been a steady rise in the number of cases he sees. Today this represensts 25% of his caseload.

In China there exists a huge database of research into benefits of Acupuncture. Unfortunately this remains largely inaccessible and may not conform to Western Medical research requirements. However, as new research begins to provide quantifiable evidence of traditional acupuncture’s efficacy and cost-effectiveness, the body of evidence available internationally is growing rapidly.

Whilst acupuncture can be used to treat specific pregnancy related conditions, it can also be used regularly (eg every 4 to 6 weeks) as an effective means of maintaining good health and vitality for both the mother and baby throughout the pregnancy.
