Pregnancy Acupuncture: Natural Support for Every Trimester

Pregnancy is magical, but between the joy and anticipation, it’s not unusual to feel sick, anxious, or just plain exhausted. That’s where gentle, pregnancy-safe acupuncture can make a real difference.

Whether you’re newly pregnant or counting down to your due date, acupuncture offers a safe, drug-free way to support your changing body — and growing baby.

💗 What Pregnancy Acupuncture Can Help With

Each trimester brings its own changes, joys, and challenges. Acupuncture can support you through all of them:

🌱 First Trimester (Weeks 1–12)

• Nausea and morning sickness
• Fatigue and low energy
• Headaches
• Anxiety or mood changes
• Immunity

🌸 Second Trimester (Weeks 13–27)

• Musculoskeletal pain (hips, back, sciatica)
• Heartburn
• Constipation
• Sleep disturbances
• Sinus congestion

This is often the “golden period” — but small issues can still disrupt your flow. Acupuncture helps keep your system balanced and resilient.

🌕 Third Trimester (Weeks 28–40+)

• Lower back and pelvic pain
• Swelling and fluid retention
• Insomnia or restlessness
• Breech or posterior baby positioning
• Birth preparation (from Week 36+)

Regular pre-birth acupuncture sessions in the final weeks can help prepare the body for a smoother labour by softening the cervix, calming the mind, and supporting optimal fetal position.

🌿 Is Acupuncture Safe During Pregnancy?

Yes — when performed by a qualified practitioner, acupuncture is not only safe during pregnancy, it’s a trusted part of prenatal care across many cultures.

At our Bondi Junction clinic, we use pregnancy-specific points, avoid contraindicated areas, and prioritise your comfort and wellbeing every step of the way.

Your treatment may include:

• Gentle, shallow needling
• Relaxation and breathwork
• Moxibustion (for breech babies)
• Custom recommendations

Our treatment room is warm, private, and supportive. It’s a space where you can lie back, breathe, and reconnect to your body.

Q: How often should I come?
A: It depends on your needs. For nausea or anxiety, weekly sessions may help. From Week 36, we recommend weekly sessions for birth prep.

A: Most clients feel deeply relaxed — some even drift off during treatment.

Q: Can you help if my baby is breech?
A: From Week 33 onward, we use moxa and specific points to encourage optimal positioning.

💖 Acupuncture for Birth Preparation

From Week 36 onward, many women choose weekly acupuncture to:

• Calm nerves
• Encourage cervical ripening
• Gently prepare the pelvis
• Support natural onset of labour

Acpuncture “induction” is a natural invitation to help the body do what it already knows how to do.
