Acupuncture
Pregnancy acupuncture, carefully
Nausea, backache and fatigue — adapted treatment, avoided points, and midwife-first rules.
Symptoms and what they can mean
Queasiness, a pulling pelvis, sleep that will not come. Common. Bleeding, reduced movements, or a headache with visual change is obstetric.
What we can do in clinic
I adapt points and positioning. Some points are avoided in pregnancy. Steve may be the better door for pelvic girdle mechanics. We can both be involved with consent.
Red flags and when to see your GP
Anything your midwife would want to know, I want you to tell them first. I am not antenatal care.
