Acupuncture to alleviate Morning Sickness?

  I'm in my 8th week, had morning sickness since week 5 and I've now had three sessions of acupuncture. The first 24 hours after each session have been my worst days but the few days following I've had a bit of relief - one hour I feel great, the next I'm back in bed. I guess what I'm saying is, I'm not completely convinced but I know the effects vary from person to person. 

   If you do decide to get it, make sure you find a GREAT acupuncturist. I'm not happy with mine so I'm currently looking for someone else. 

  Also, are you feeling warm or having feverish symptoms? The acupuncture definitely helped with keeping the dizziness and heat away. Hope this helps a bit. I'll keep you posted. 

  Good luck!

  I had acupuncture to relieve the nausea and heartburn, the heartburn went away and has not returned (1 week later) the nausea was greatly reduced for 3 days, but came back after. I am going back have another session. Those three days were amazing after what I have been going through for the last 5 weeks.

  I did, but then I threw up later that night...But, she did give me some Chinese herbs (that have ginger in them) and those have helped. I spent quite a lot of time (from weeks 6-10) wearing sea bands. Those helped a lot more than the acupuncture helped The acupuncture seemed to only provide me with really temporary relief for a few hours.
