Hi all,
I'm just wondering about acupuncture to try and bring on labour. I'm 37+3 today and I know it's a bit controversial since I'm only technically full term but I'd really like this baby to arrive soon! I'm so uncomfortable this time. I've got major probs with the severe varicose veins and I have to wear full medical compression tights all the time I'm up. It's so hot sometimes I feel like I'm going to pass out! I had a scan yesterday because I'm measuring behind but the baby is estimated at 3kg. That's a great weight so I really want it to be 'go time'! She feels so low in my pelvis that I'm only comfortable in dresses and skirts but I feel like she might need some encouragement! Anybody had acupuncture to bring on labour? Amy, is this something that acupuncture can help with? TIA!
