Acupuncture is a popular practice for supporting prenatal and postpartum health. Practiced by Chinese medicine and modern doctors alike, acupuncture can treat a variety of prenatal conditions including morning sickness, drowsiness, irritability, and anxiety. Acupuncture can also help expectant mothers with back pain, improper fetal positioning, and regulating arterial pressure. Acupuncture can be especially beneficial during the last few weeks in pregnancy, helping to relax and prepare the uterus for childbirth.
