Thanks Honey, happy birthday to your little one!

"Is acupuncture used in active labour? I would
be interested to hear of anyone's experiences of this."
I had an acupuncturist give me acupuncture in
the days leading up to my birth, the night before I went into labour, during
active labour in her clinic and then I asked her to come in to the birth
centre with me, and she did give me some acupuncture during pushing
stage. I think it helped get things moving as I was overdue and running out
of days to be able to go to the birth centre, I don't know to what degree
it helped with the pain, I had a wonderful birth with no pain
medication and I wouldn't describe it as painful either, it was hard work
and a long second stage with a nine pound five ounce baby exactly one year ago
today. I would use acupuncture again. I don't know if that helps, but
if you have more specific questions I'm happy to answer them.
Honey
