Today I had my first experience with acupuncture, and it was great. I went into the Dr.'s office and he put me in a relaxing room on a comfy table while Sarah Mclaughlin played in the background. He began placing needles in my legs and arms and finished with my feet and ribs. The needles in my feet were a bit painful but the rest I did not even know were there. I layed there for 15 minutes and then he took them out. So while I layed there, I did not notice much, I just felt relaxed...well as the day has gone on it has been amazing. I honestly have not felt this good in weeks. I have energy (and have had no caffeine today) My mind is alert and I'm not fatigued and the baby is happy too. Now, hopefully this baby will be here sooner than later (that was the real reason for my appointment) According to ancient Chinese medicine acupuncture is a great way to induce labor. Ill let you know the verdict.

Hopefully the acupuncture sends you in to labor. I swear I tried everything to start labor on my own with Drew, but I admit I never tried acupuncture. If it works I'll have to remember that next time I have a baby.
I did acupuncture once during my pregnancy for migraines, and I didn't have a headache for over a year. To this day, I still haven't had a full-blown migraine, just a few mild headaches. I'm a big believer, so hopefully it will work for you! Good luck!
