Prenatal Acupuncture

supporting a healthy pregnancy

Acupuncture is safe and effective at any stage of your pregnancy.

I recommend acupuncture throughout the first trimester to manage stress, regulate blood flow and immune function to help you maintain a healthy pregnancy. Acupuncture can also be used to alleviate any uncomfortable pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.

Common reasons that people use acupuncture during their pregnancy include:

• Morning sickness (including nausea and vomiting)

• Pain (including back, hip and headaches)

• Stress and anxiety

• Insomnia

• Carpal tunnel

• Swelling in hands and feet

• Breach presentation of baby (flip)

• Sinus congestion

• Labour preparation

• Labour encouraging for women who are overdue

At the end of pregnancy from 36 weeks onward, I recommend weekly acupuncture treatments to prepare your body and mind for labour and delivery. Call Jennifer Doull at Synergy in Cayman to book your appointment.
