Acupuncture

Acupuncture is safe, relatively pain free and works by needling specific points on the body that bring forth stimulation, promoting labour induction and regulating the uterus. There are several studies that also show acupuncture can increase the frequency and strength of the contraction as well as shorten the duration of the labour.
