Pre-Birth Acupuncture Treatment

Pre-birth acupuncture involves a series of weekly treatments from 36 weeks onwards to delivery.  It prepares a woman’s body for labour.  It can help to ripen the cervix and can help the baby move into an anterior position before birth.

An observational study of the use of pre-birth acupuncture was done by Debra Betts.  Practices of 14 midwives recorded their pre-birth acupuncture treatment over a 4-month period in 2004, in 169 New Zealand women who received pre-birth acupuncture.

When compared with the local population rates there was:

  • An overall 35% reduction in the number of inductions (for women having their first baby, there was a 43% reduction)
  • A 31% reduction in the epidural rate
  • A 32% reduction in caesarean delivery
  • A 9% increase in vaginal birth
