"Is acupuncture used in activelabour? 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 clinicand 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
ofdays 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 nopain
medicationand 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. Iwould use acupuncture again.I don't know if that helps, but
if you have more specific questions I'm happy to answer them.
Honey

Hi list, I have just read in Salerno (1999, p.
122) that endorphin release is higher after acupuncture and TENS. Is
acupuncture used in activelabour? I would be interested to hear of
anyone's experiences of this. Thanks Fiona (CE
student)
