Pregnancy is a time of profound physical and emotional change. While it can be joyful, many women experience discomforts such as nausea, back pain, fatigue, insomnia, and anxiety. At The ON Acupuncture, we offer gentle, safe, and effective acupuncture treatments designed to support women throughout every stage of pregnancy.
Why Choose Acupuncture Perth During Pregnancy?
Acupuncture has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support maternal health. In modern clinical practice, it is increasingly recommended by midwives and obstetricians as a natural way to ease common pregnancy-related symptoms and promote overall well-being.
Research suggests that acupuncture during pregnancy can help:
-
Reduce morning sickness and nausea
-
Relieve back pain, pelvic discomfort, and sciatica
-
Improve sleep and reduce anxiety
-
Regulate digestion and manage heartburn or constipation
-
Support energy levels and emotional balance
Most importantly, acupuncture is non-pharmacological, making it a safe option for women seeking natural care during pregnancy.
How It Works
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points in the body to balance hormones, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. In TCM, pregnancy is associated with changes in Qi (vital energy) and blood, especially in the Kidney and Liver meridians. Imbalances in these areas can contribute to fatigue, pain, or emotional distress.
Our experienced practitioners carefully select pregnancy-safe acupuncture points based on your trimester and individual symptoms. Treatments are tailored to your changing needs—from the early weeks through the final stages before labor.
Support for Each Trimester
-
First Trimester: Focus on reducing morning sickness, fatigue, and anxiety.
-
Second Trimester: Address musculoskeletal discomfort, prevent complications, and support digestion.
-
Third Trimester: Prepare the body for labor, reduce swelling, and manage sleep issues.
In the final weeks, we also offer pre-birth acupuncture, which may help encourage optimal fetal positioning, support cervical ripening, and potentially reduce the need for medical interventions during labor.
