Acupuncture is a safe, drug free treatment choice to support you and your baby throughout all the stages of your pregnancy - from morning sickness to labour induction.

A variety of conditions may be relieved by acupuncture including:

- anxiety
- carpel tunnel syndrome
- headaches
- heartburn
- insomnia
- threatened miscarriage.

Ruth also commonly corrects breech babies. No needles are used in this treatment. Heat is applied to a specific area on the mothers feet for 15 minutes twice daily for 5 days. Most babies turn within 3 days. The optimum time to treat is week 34.

Ruth will demonstrate this easy technique to you at your first treatment enabling you to complete the course at home.

This treatment is not suitable for everyone and Ruth cannot guarantee success. It is also important that expectant mothers inform their doctor or midwife of their intention to receive acupuncture.
