Acupunture to induce labor

Anyone have luck with Acupunture to induce labor? How many sessions did you need? I am considering giving it a try since its a more natural option than getting medically induced. I am 4 days past my due date and its getting increasingly uncomfortable.  I am also feeling anxious and nervous at the thought of getting medically induced. :(

Re: Acupunture to induce labor

  • I've been getting it for the past three weeks and after every treatment I get mild contractions for the rest of the day. My MW tells me that each time that happens I dilate a bit further, so to keep it up. However I am 4 days over due, so who knows. I say it can't hurt and like pp it makes me feel better afterward so that's a plus.

  • I am a big believer in acupuncture, and have had it twice since my EDD to induce labor... with absolutely no results.  :(

  • I had it yesterday and nothing yet.  I'll go back on Wednesday for another try, if nothing happens before then. 

    I do have to say that it felt amazing.  I was so super relaxed.
