My back and kamar pain is killing me these days and someone suggested acupuncture. Im a bit unsure if its ok to do while pregnant. Has anyone tried it during these months?
My gynac mentioned that acupuncture is generally safe but only if done by a licensed practitioner who knows which points to avoid, as some points can trigger contractions. Always get your doctor's clearance first.
I had severe back pain and considered acupuncture, but my doctor advised trying safe prenatal yoga stretches first. It worked wonders for me without needing any invasive procedures.
Getting poked with needles while dealing with pregnancy hormones sounds like a brave choice, haha! If you want to try it, just make sure the therapist is certified for pregnant women so they don't trigger anything early!
When I asked my parents about it, they were very hesitant and preferred traditional home therapies. I decided to stick to gentle pre-natal massages from a trusted local dai instead.
Honestly, acupuncture sessions can get very expensive and aren't usually covered by insurance. Better to spend that money on essential scans and save for delivery expenses.
Oh, the thought of needles during pregnancy makes me so nervous! I would be too scared of any side effects or infections. Please talk to your gynac and make sure it's completely safe for you.
