Pregnancy is a remarkable life-event and it calls on you to adapt to a new state of equilibrium. The physical body needs to develop a new life and to literally carry this new life. On a psychological level you are given a valuable, new responsibility, the new life that develops in your body!
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, pregnancy requires a new balance of the energy that runs through your body. The development and growth of your baby is part of your energy system and currents. Finding that new equilibrium takes time and may be accompanied by some ailments, an acupuncture treatment can help you achieve this.
Acupuncture during pregnancy is safe: it has been used for thousands of years to help women support a healthy pregnancy and uncomplicated labour.

Your midwife or gynecologist sees reason to induce your childbirth in the hospital. If it can be done in a softer way, stimulating the delivery, then that is your preference. That is possible with acupuncture: moving towards delivery in a gradual way. Good for you and your baby.
Suitable for those who
- prefer a soft and gradual way to stimulate delivery
- rather prefer not to undergo medical induction
as long as it can be done differently - have missed the programme Naturally Prepared for Delivery.
- get an indication or are told that induction might be necessary.
Don't hesitate to get in touch when you know induction is or might be upcoming.

Obstetrics counseling and acupuncture. During your pregnancy you will be supported by a medical caregiver, acupuncture treatment is an additional treatment. I will send your medical caregiver a short report to ensure that he/she is aware of the acupuncture treatments you will be receiving from me.
As a rule, it is best for yourself, for your midwife and for me that your midwife knows that you are considering or following treatment with me. This avoids misunderstandings and undesired situations. The usual means of communicating this is that I as the therapist inform the midwife in writing of your treatment.
