Pregnancy and postpartum acupuncture in New York City

So, you’re expecting — congratulations! This exciting time is full of joy and anticipation, but it also brings about many changes. As your body adapts to make room for baby, you may notice physical discomfort, along with emotional ups and downs. Finding ways to support your body and nurture your well-being now can make a big difference in how you feel through your pregnancy and beyond.

Helping You Thrive Through Every Trimester

Acupuncture is considered safe and effective through all three trimesters. Because it has virtually no side effects, many expectant women now seek it as an alternative to drug therapy for common pregnancy symptoms like:

Stress management or anxiety
Morning sickness (if queasiness is persistent, we may recommend herbs and nutritional counseling)
Aches and joint pain
Miscarriage precautionary
Breech position (used since ancient times!)
Labor preparation (successfully promotes labor naturally when a woman is past due — no later than three days past her due date)

Prioritizing Well-being During Postpartum Recovery

While caring for your newborn, you’re also navigating the very real physical and emotional recovery your body needs. Just as you prioritize your health during pregnancy, it’s equally important to give yourself the postpartum care you deserve. For thousands of years, Chinese Medicine has recognized the period immediately after childbirth as a crucial time for a new mother’s health. With acupuncture and other Chinese Medicine therapies, it is possible to strengthen a mother’s weakened Qi (the body’s vital energy) while helping to boost immunity and support overall well-being during this important recovery period.
