Acupuncture to induce labour

hey ladies. My DD was oct 24 and I'm still pregnant. I've had 2 sweeps done and nothing.
I'm going to be undiluted Monday if baby isn't born before.
I've scheduled an acupuncture session tomorrow, hoping that will bring it on.
Would love to hear about others experiences ??
TIA

Re: Acupuncture to induce labour

  • I was a day overdue and not dilated with a thick cervix when I did acupuncture and mozibustion. I went into labor 12 hours later and she was born less than 3 hours after the first contraction. Now, with baby #3, I also did it before I had to be induced and it didn't work, but it's worth a try.

    It might help get things going if your body is ready but it won't induce if your body is not ready. I went to two labor inducing sessions this week and nothing! Although after each session I did feel more pressure

  • Maybe I won't need that session after all. Starting to feel some contraction this evening. Maybe a Halloween baby coming.
