Pregnancy

Acupuncture can support women through various stages – before, during, and after pregnancy.


Fertility support

Many women use acupuncture to support their desire to conceive.

The goal is to support the body during this phase and create favorable conditions for pregnancy.

The treatment is individually tailored and can also be used alongside medical assessments.


During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time of change.

Acupuncture is commonly used for concerns such as:

  • Nausea and Exhaustion

  • Sleep problems

  • Back or Pelvic Pain

  • inner restlessness

Starting in the 36th week of pregnancy, acupuncture can be used specifically to prepare for childbirth. Many women use this time to get physically and mentally ready for the upcoming birth. After the due date, acupuncture may be used to support the natural onset of labour, if appropriate.

Many women experience the treatment as a peaceful moment during which their bodies can relax and stabilize.

The treatment is adapted to the specific stage of pregnancy.


After Pregnancy

Acupuncture can also be used to provide support after childbirth.

This phase often focuses on strengthening the body and supporting recovery.

The treatment offers a calm space in which the body can recover and gradually regain strength.
