STRATEGIES FOR PREGNANCY

Pregnancy is a unique time for you and your growing baby and you may start to suffer from common symptoms that can be naturally and effectively treated with no side effects using acupuncture. Here at Rebecca Mar Young Natural Health we understand you need special care at this time. We specialize in this field to ensure you receive the best treatment that is based on our experience and the latest research. Should you be enjoying a healthy pregnancy, then we offer treatments to turn breech babies, get your body ready for a natural labour and give natural inductions. For all the details, see the six strategies below.

Our aim is to support you all the way to the birth of your baby and into the challenges of Motherhood.

Initial consultations: one hour, $95

We will go through your health from a Chinese medical perspective, suggest any diet, supplement and lifestyle changes that would be beneficial for you and treat you using acupuncture for the reason you came to see us.

Treatment sessions: fifty minutes, $85

These involve treatment with acupuncture as well as guidance and support from us with your diet and lifestyle.

1) The “Treat My Problematic Symptom” strategy:

This involves an initial consultation followed by one to two acupuncture treatment sessions per week for four weeks. This is usually more than enough time to get your symptoms under control so you can enjoy your pregnancy. For a list these common symptoms women experience during pregnancy click here.

2) The “Treat My Breech Baby” strategy:

This involves two to three acupuncture treatment sessions as well as daily moxibustion for ten days at home as instructed by the clinic. A study conducted in 1998 in Italy found that 75% of breech babies will turn using acupuncture between 33 and 36 weeks gestation.

3) The “Surviving The First Three Months” strategy:

This involves an initial consultation followed by one acupuncture treatment session for the first 14 weeks of your pregnancy. According to Chinese medical theory, this is a delicate time and one where the woman needs to be as relaxed, calm and as warm as possible. “Internal cold” and “weak Spleen energy” can damage the chances of implantation and a continuing pregnancy, so these treatments aim to support you during this time.

4) The “Maintain My Good Health During Pregnancy” strategy:

If you are coasting through your pregnancy then this is the strategy for you. It involves an initial consultation followed by one acupuncture treatment session per month until you are 37 weeks gestation.

5) The “Get Me Ready For A Natural Labour” strategy:

This involves an initial consultation & acupuncture treatment followed by one acupuncture treatment session per week from 37 weeks until your due date. Ideally it is best to use the “Maintain My Good Health During Pregnancy” strategy before you start this one. A 2006 New Zealand study found that one acupuncture treatment per week for the four weeks prior to birth decreases the average time in labour and increases the likelihood of a vaginal birth.

6) The “Natural Induction” strategy:

Ideally use the “Maintain My Good Health During Pregnancy” strategy until 37 weeks, followed by the “Get Me Ready For A Natural Labour” strategy until your due date. Then this involves one to three treatments sessions per week from your due date onwards.
