Induce Labour Armadale
Acupuncture is very successful for inducing labour. It is safe and it works.
"Definately need to cancel my appointment for the morning!! My baby girl arrived with great speed last night.
Thank you so much. I had a very quick labour, 4 hours from start to finish. I really think the quick labour was becaause of the acupuncture :-)"
Rhiannon
Treatments can begin around 38 weeks to prepare mothers for labour. At this time focus is directed towards ripening the cervix, increasing mothers energy levels and releiving any muscular pain or discomfort.
Acupuncture for induction can reduce pain associated with contractions as are slowly increased, as opposed to drug induction, where contractions tend to start intensely and progress rapidly, which can be quite traumatic for mother and baby. Women have less time to prepare mentally and physically with drug induced labour and can require more pain releif. Research has shown acupuncture can reduce the average length of labour and reduce recovery time.
Acupuncture works by stimulating the production of oxytocin, a hormone that stimulates contractions of the uterus and facilitates milk ejection from the breasts.
Success rates have been reported at between 68-83%.
