Acupuncture!

ReeseMReeseM member
in VBAC

I am going tomorrow for my first treatment. I am excited! And a little nervous, to be honest :)

I am "allowed" to go to 42 weeks before we have a RCS, but after 40 weeks I will have my bi-weekly NSTs and so forth. I just don't even want to have to go there. I can just see there being something a tiny bit off, and they will want to section me. 

My body seems to be doing some things on its own, and I even really thought I was in for real labor last night. So maybe a couple treatments will be all I need. 

Here's hoping!

    Good luck! :)  I need to look into finding an acupuncturist here who will work on pg women.  If we're at 39-ish + weeks, I will be trying!!

    I hope all goes well for you!  I had 4 sessions after 40 weeks, and three of them included attaching electrode wires to 4 of the pins.  Interesting sensations... Nonetheless I am CONVINCED that is what helped me go from 4cm to complete in 2 hours!  GL!

    Good luck! I had it done three days in a row, and went into labor the day after the third session. I was at least 41 weeks at that point.

    I also refused the AFI u/s check at my non-stress test, bc I was too paranoid about getting the "low fluid" meme (it was one of the things with DS1's birth that I think contributed to my original c-section). I had to sign an AMA form for that, and it was stressful refusing it, but I'm glad I did.

    I'm a little nervous, but more just ready to go into labor! I have had SO many false alarms, that it is mentally exhausting. I feel like DH thinks I am the girl who cried wolf. When I tell him I am really in labor, he will probably not believe me!

    I start the acupuncture at 37 weeks b/c I have never gone into labor. I want to make sure I have long enough to try all the methods of natural induction.

    Please post about your experience. I'm very curious about what it feels like and how you feel after. Thanks!

    Let us know how it went.  Acupuncture is one of the things I wish I had tried last time.  I'm going to check it out this time around.
