For our mamas approaching the final weeks of pregnancy, your body is doing some of its most important work yet!
Acupuncture can be a gentle way to support that work. Often introduced weekly from 36 weeks, it helps the body soften, prepare, and find ease as labour approaches.
Early on, the focus is on cervical ripening, relaxing the pelvis and ligaments, and supporting uterine blood flow. Closer to your due date, it can help encourage the release of oxytocin, the hormone that supports labour and contractions.
Research suggests this approach may support a smoother labour and could reduce the likelihood of needing a medical induction.
Dr. Nora, our Naturopath and Acupuncture provider, offers this care at Twh with a thoughtful, personalized approach to every stage of pregnancy 🤍
An added bonus: heat lamp alongside Acupuncture, bringing gentle warmth to support circulation and help the body relax more deeply into treatment.
