Acupuncture at 40 weeks

MariaKeegs

So I had an acupuncture appointment this afternoon. It was definitely very interesting. We talked about how it doesn't necessarily induce labor but serves in "unblock" issues/pathways that could be holding labor back. I have never left any type of healing modality feeling more relaxed and rested!! That alone made the appointment worth it!! We talked about some potential mental blocks I was having about homebirth, etc. and I feel so much...lighter!! Tonight I have a ton more pelvic pressure. No contractions but definitely feel different. And it amazes me how ready I am and still so freaking NERVOUS!! I'll keep all you fabulously supportive women in the loop. Tomorrow seems like a great day to birth!!

Yay! Good luck! Lots a labor dust your way! I have an amazing acupuncturist that treated me all through my first tri for morning sickness and I actually looked forward to those appointment mostly because I left feeling so relaxed and calm.

I went for acupuncture on my due date and my water broke within 24 hours.  Here is to hoping that your body is ready and you will meet your baby soon!  Don't be nervous!!  You will do great and the baby will come when it's ready.  : )

Good luck! I've heard nothing but good things about acupuncture at or after an EDD.
