    Pregnancy and Postnatal Care with Chinese Medicine

     

    Acupuncture is a safe and gentle support that can be used throughout your pregnancy and into motherhood. 

    It is a natural and effective way to address some common complaints that may arise during this time when conventional medicines are often unavailable. 


    Pregnancy

    Pregnancy is a special and unique time in a woman's life. It is also when your body experiences the biggest change and hormonal shift since puberty. Chinese medicine can ease you through the physical and emotional changes that can occur during each trimester of your pregnancy, from morning sickness to natural labour induction.

    Some of the conditions pregnancy acupuncture can help with include:

     

    • Anaemia
    • Colds and sinus congestion
    • Digestion irregularities
    • Fatigue
    • Heartburn
    • Miscarriage prevention
    • Morning Sickness
    • Sciatica

     



    Specialised Treatments:

    • Turning breech Babies - from 34 weeks
    • Pre-birth preparation - from 36-37 weeks
    • Natural Labour Induction - from your due date
    Every treatment is designed to compliment the care you are already receiving from your obstetrician. Current research indicates that women who have pregnancy and prebirth acupuncture often enjoy a shorter and easier birth experience and a speedier post-natal recovery.

    Regular acupuncture strengthens and supports your pregnancy, creating a healthy environment for your baby to flourish and ensuring you are comfortable, healthy and happy throughout your pregnancy, to birth and beyond.

    Post-Natal Care

     A new mother can easily become depleted after giving birth, due to loss of blood during labour, the energetic demands of breastfeeding, and adjusting to new sleeping patterns. During the weeks following childbirth your body is occupied with healing, rebuilding its strength, and nurturing your new baby.

    Restorative Chinese herbs and nourishing supplements can accelerate your post-natal recovery, and assist with the following conditions:

    • Anxiety
    • Body aches and pains
    • Constipation
    • Depression
    • Fatigue
    • General tonification and rebuilding
    • Hemorrhoids
    • Insufficient lactation
    • Mastitis
    • Milk Supply
    • Persistent Lochia
    • Sweating
    • Urinary Difficulty

     


    Post-natal care involves the prescription of nourishing herbs and supplements for you to take at home. This is a time of big adjustments. Your Chinese herbs are designed to give you support so you have the energy to do everything you need to do.
