2. Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?

Yes, acupuncture is generally considered safe during pregnancy when performed by a licensed and experienced practitioner who specializes in prenatal care. In fact, many women use it to help with:

• Morning sickness
• Lower back or pelvic pain
• Fatigue and headaches
• Sleep problems
• Anxiety or stress
• Breech baby positioning (in later stages)
• Preparing the body for labor

However, not all acupuncture points are safe in pregnancy-some should be avoided because they could stimulate uterine contractions. That's why it's essential to choose a practitioner who knows exactly which points are pregnancy-safe.
