Information for Labour Induction
Treatment goal:
1.The idea of acupuncture for labour induction is that we can’t force the baby to come,
2. Instead, we try to create the ideal environment for them to want to come by relaxing the mind and preparing the body for childbirth. To gradually build up the necessary hormones for labour (such as oxytocin) and keep the mother feeling as comfortable and well-rested as possible.
3. If there are any other symptoms such as pain, sleeplessness, digestive upset, etc. We always want to treat you as a whole person, because if you feel more relaxed and comfortable, help soften and dilate the cervix with the onset of labour contractions. baby is more likely to interpret that as the environment is safe to come into.
4. In this way, the guide for natural labour.
5. Medical induction is needed if acupuncture doesn’t work.
6. After treatment: Acupressure points will also be taught for you to continue at home. Although not as strong as acupuncture stimulation, massaging key points can help continue the process at home, giving you the best chance for a natural labour or efficient induction process.
