Acupressure for Natural Pain Relief in Labor

Posted May 02 2011 12:00am

I often refer my pregnant patients to the website of Debra Betts , an acupuncturist in New Zealand who is an expert in Chinese Medicine during pregnancy and labor.  Usually, my patients have acupuncture treatments beginning at around 36 weeks to prepare for their labor.  If there is a breech baby, they begin treatment ideally at 34 weeks so that we can attempt to turn the baby before it descends into the pelvic cavity.  We do this treatment in combination with Optimal Fetal Position exercises .  If you are in your third trimester, I encourage you to visit her website.

Many Blessings,
Liz Richards, L.Ac.
