How Acupuncture Can Help You During Your Pregnancy Third Trimester

Every pregnancy is different. Some women struggle with morning sickness early on that dissipates as time goes by. Others suffer from very few symptoms initially, only to develop severe back pain halfway through their gestation. But, as the majority of mothers will tell you, once you reach the third trimester, pregnancy starts taking a toll on you — and not just physically, but mentally, as well. The weight of your growing baby places a serious strain on your body, leading to all manner of uncomfortable symptoms, and the anxiety around your impending delivery only adds to the discomfort. But acupuncture can help you during your pregnancy's third trimester period. Here’s how.

In addition to alleviating stress, acupuncture helps prepare the body for birth by releasing oxytocin, keeping the baby in the correct position, ripening the cervix, and toning the uterus to encourage efficient contractions.

Acupuncture helps control third-trimester pregnancy symptoms

Pregnancy symptoms typically vary from week to week. Some women rarely experience any unpleasant side effects. Consider them the lucky ones! Many women struggle with debilitating symptoms of nausea, back and hip pain, as well as incontinence.

For many women, the unpleasant symptoms of pregnancy only increase as they enter their third trimester. Carrying a baby takes a physical toll on your body, putting pressure on your surrounding nerves and organs, and stretching and straining your muscles.

Acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive treatment for third-trimester pregnancy symptoms. Acupuncture is highly beneficial during all stages of pregnancy. Not only does acupuncture help reduce stress hormones, but it also works to release built-up muscle tension and promote healthy muscle function, too.

Acupuncture also improves circulation, which can alleviate your nerve pain, while also reducing swelling. It’s worth noting, too, that acupuncture triggers the release of endorphins, which can raise your pain threshold and make it easier for you to cope with your late-stage pregnancy symptoms naturally. 

Acupuncture prepares your body for efficient labor

Acupuncture makes you feel better, that’s true. But it does a lot more than that. Acupuncture can be tremendously helpful in preparing your body for labor during your third trimester. As needles are inserted into the appropriate trigger points, this stimulates a surge in blood flow to your reproductive organs, ensuring they have the nutrients, oxygen, and hormones they need to function optimally.

Good blood flow helps keep your uterus toned and supports the healthy function of the muscles in your pelvic floor. Not only will this help you produce more efficient contractions during your delivery, but it can also help you regain your pelvic floor strength after delivery.

Acupuncture also helps prepare your body for delivery by ripening the cervix. In new moms, the average time from the start of labor to fully dilated is 8 to 18 hours. Because acupuncture promotes circulation, it softens the cervix as you near the end of your third trimester. This makes it easier for the cervix to dilate, potentially shortening your time spent in labor.

Finally, acupuncture stimulates oxytocin release. Oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone”, is needed to produce uterine contractions powerful enough to deliver a baby. If you’re nearing your due date and trying to induce labor, acupuncture’s ability to encourage oxytocin production can speed up your delivery. 

Acupuncture helps your baby stay in the correct position

As you progress through your pregnancy, your baby’s position will change. In some cases, babies fail to turn at the end of the third trimester, or simply get turned around, with their bottoms facing the cervix. A breech presentation can make childbirth more complicated. Amazingly, acupuncture can help keep babies in the proper position, encouraging a smooth delivery.

In a study, acupuncture, combined with moxibustion, was found to be effective for repositioning breech-positioned babies. This benefit may seem hard to believe. After all, how can a few tiny needles change the way your baby is facing? But because acupuncture supports a healthy pregnancy, it makes sense that it can help keep your baby in the proper position for birth, too.

Remember, acupuncture tones the muscles in the pelvic region, preparing them for childbirth. Keeping these muscles in good working order is crucial because they help turn your baby, preparing it for delivery. Good muscle tone also makes it much easier for your body to expel afterbirth without complication. 

Acupuncture helps your body recover postpartum

Your pregnancy journey doesn’t end the moment you give birth. Sure, you may not be pregnant anymore. But your body needs some time and extra TLC to get back to normal. Pregnancy is no easy process! So it’s important to be gentle with yourself in the weeks following your delivery.

We recommend our patients continue their acupuncture sessions after giving birth to help them recover from their pregnancy and cope with the stresses of raising a newborn. Acupuncture can help restore healthy hormone patterns, regulate neurotransmitters to keep “baby blues” at bay, and make it easier for you to sleep.

We advise many of our new moms to practice “Zuo Yue Zi”, or the one-month sitting. This ancient practice involves restricting physical activity and reducing stress as much as possible, while also focusing on rest, sleep, and high-quality nutrition. Giving your body ample time to rest will help you feel better (naturally), and focusing on eating good foods enables your body to build your blood back up.

Good postpartum care is just as critical as pregnancy support. So as you transition from your third trimester to new motherhood, remember to take time for yourself. We’ll work with you, using a variety of strategies, from herbal medicine to massage and stress management, to ensure you get back to feeling great as soon as possible so you can enjoy those special moments with your new baby.

How Does Acupuncture Help Fertility

Some women have no trouble getting pregnant. But others struggle for months to conceive. Even if you’ve already had children, you can still struggle to get pregnant. Between stress and dietary and lifestyle choices, many things can contribute to infertility, even if you’ve never had a problem in the past. The good news is that acupuncture can help you reclaim your fertility and support your overall health, to boot! But how does acupuncture help fertility, exactly?

Acupuncture reduces stress, balances estrogen and progesterone, and stimulates ovarian function. Men can also benefit from acupuncture because it works to boost sperm concentration, making acupuncture a universal support method for anybody struggling with infertility.

How does acupuncture help women struggling with infertility?

When it comes to getting pregnant, good circulation is crucial. This is one of the primary benefits that acupuncture has to offer when it comes to boosting fertility. Good blood flow to the reproductive organs has several key benefits.

First, it nourishes them. Healthy circulation ensures your reproductive organs have ready access to the oxygen, blood cells, and hormones they need to function properly. The enhanced circulation also stimulates ovarian function, regulating cycles, even in women who struggle with anovulatory cycles and/or PCOS.

Studies show that acupuncture improves ovarian reserve in mothers who were previously considered to be infertile. Not only does acupuncture help you produce more eggs, but those eggs are also of a better quality, which also enhances your chances of getting pregnant.

Acupuncture supports fertility by improving the function of your reproductive organs themselves. But it also helps by regulating stress levels and encouraging healthy sex hormone levels. Acupuncture can be used to normalize estrogen and progesterone levels. Acupuncture is also incredibly helpful for treating pregnancy symptoms, like back pain and morning sickness, and can help women stabilize their hormones postpartum, too. 

How can acupuncture help men overcome infertility?

Women aren’t the only ones who benefit from using acupuncture to support fertility. Men can also use acupuncture to improve reproductive health. If you and your partner have been struggling to get pregnant for a while now, a few acupuncture sessions could make all the difference for you.

Better blood flow can work wonders for increasing sperm count and quality. Regular acupuncture sessions have been shown to support testicular function. This, in turn, can drastically ramp up sperm production. If you’ve struggled with low sperm counts, acupuncture is an easy way to support your fertility.

As in women, acupuncture can also help regulate sex hormone levels in men, specifically testosterone. Low levels can cause your sperm count to plummet. Acupuncture has a regulating effect on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, reducing stress hormones and helping your body regulate testosterone production.

Overall, acupuncture can be used to help men enhance their fertility levels. We’ve seen many couples overcome their infertility struggles with the help of regular acupuncture sessions, along with a few lifestyle adjustments and the help of some fertility superfoods. 

How often should women get acupuncture to support fertility?

You can begin acupuncture treatments at any time, no matter where you are in your fertility journey — whether you and your partner have just started trying, or whether you’re in the third trimester of your pregnancy. Acupuncture is safe, non-invasive, and has no adverse side effects, so it’s an awesome supportive therapy for anyone.

If you’re still in the planning stages of your fertility journey, then we recommend beginning acupuncture 6 to 12 months before attempting to conceive. This is especially helpful if you’re a woman who’s struggling with a hormonal condition like PCOS, or who is over the age of 35. Regular acupuncture sessions before attempting to conceive help prepare the body for implantation and increase the chances of a successful pregnancy. 

Many of our clients who struggle with fertility choose to undergo IVF or IUI treatments. Acupuncture can be used in tandem with these treatments. Regular acupuncture sessions before transfer make your body more receptive to implantation. A few strategically timed sessions after transfer can also tip the odds in your favor.

And, if you’re already pregnant, acupuncture can still play a crucial role in your fertility by helping your body support the pregnancy. It does so all while helping to alleviate those annoying pregnancy symptoms. Acupuncture can make it easier for you to cope with the fatigue, muscle pain, and nausea that come with pregnancy. 

How often should men get acupuncture to support fertility?

The protocol for treating infertility in men is very similar to the protocol we would recommend to our female clients. We recommend acupuncture sessions well in advance of attempting to conceive to rebalance hormones, reduce stress, and bring that sperm count up. That said, there is no wrong time to start treatment.

Depending on the underlying cause of your infertility, you may respond very quickly to treatment. Some clients see a boost in their sperm count and overall sexual performance within just a few sessions. Acupuncture can be tremendously helpful for restoring sexual health!

But if your body has been out of balance for a long time, it may take weeks to months of treatments to help you recover. Everybody is different, and it’s very difficult to predict definitively how long it will take to see results.

In some cases, we rely on other strategies to help our clients achieve better results. Herbal medicine can be highly effective in many cases, and stress management is also a big help for many individuals. Relying on a variety of holistic therapies yields the best results for some clients. We’ll work with you to figure out the best path forward so you can enhance your reproductive health.

Using Acupuncture To Induce Labor

You were thrilled to find out you were expecting a baby and excited to start decorating the nursery and choosing baby names. But now, nine months later, you feel like a tick that’s ready to pop. You would do just about anything to speed up your labor so you can finally hold your baby in your arms. Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners have been relying on acupuncture to induce labor for centuries. But is it safe for you and your unborn child, and how exactly does it work?

Acupuncture is safe for use throughout pregnancy, and can also be used to induce labor. Acupuncture helps prepare the body for childbirth by stimulating the release of oxytocin, which promotes healthy muscle function and a speedier delivery. 

Is acupuncture safe to use during pregnancy?

One of the first questions that expecting mothers ask us is if acupuncture is safe to use during pregnancy. The answer is yes! Acupuncture is incredibly safe, for both you and your baby, and is often utilized to treat annoying pregnancy symptoms, like back pain and morning sickness.

Because acupuncture is non-invasive, it has virtually zero negative side effects. You can safely enjoy acupuncture sessions weekly, or even more often, to help ease your pregnancy symptoms and prepare your body for labor.

Many women use acupuncture throughout their pregnancies, but it can be used before and after as well. Acupuncture helps prep the body for conception, and has helped many of our clients, including men, overcome their infertility struggles.

Acupuncture is adaptogenic, meaning it helps your body help itself, whether you’re trying to induce labor, or whether you’re struggling to conceive and overcome infertility. Regular acupuncture sessions work to rebalance your body so that it functions optimally, and so you feel better all the way around, regardless of where you are in your pregnancy journey.

How does acupuncture induce labor?

Acupuncture can help speed up your delivery in several ways. The first is by reducing muscle tension. When you’re pregnant, your musculoskeletal system changes to accommodate your growing baby. Your muscles stretch and contract, and can become quite uncomfortable over time. But acupuncture (and occasionally a good massage) helps keep muscle pain in check, while also supporting healthy muscle function.

Healthy muscle function isn’t just about staying comfortable, although that is a major benefit. When your muscles aren’t functioning properly, it’s harder for them to work together. Musculoskeletal dysfunction can delay your delivery date and significantly slow the labor process, so if you want to induce labor, keeping your muscles in good shape is a great start.

The increase in blood flow that acupuncture creates is also beneficial. Good circulation helps tone the uterus, so your contractions are more efficient during your labor. Acupuncture also triggers the release of oxytocin, which stimulates the uterus to contract and can speed up the delivery process.

Oxytocin plays such an important role in inducing labor that many hospitals use it to help women begin childbirth. But oxytocin is far more effective at inducing labor once the cervix has ripened. Fortunately, acupuncture can help with that, too. Acupuncture is used to soften and dilate the cervix to prepare the body for labor and promote an efficient delivery.

When should you get acupuncture to induce labor?

We always advise our expecting mothers to schedule acupuncture sessions throughout their pregnancies to help their bodies adapt as their pregnancies progress and to prepare for on-time delivery. Regular acupuncture sessions are also important to keep pregnancy symptoms under control, especially as you enter your third trimester.

Routine acupuncture sessions throughout your pregnancy promote hormonal balance so you have a healthy pregnancy. During your third trimester, acupuncture is especially helpful for ripening the cervix, and even for keeping your baby in the right position, so you have an easier labor.

But even if you’ve never had acupuncture at any time during your pregnancy, one or two sessions close to your due date can help to induce labor. It’s just that effective! According to a study of women who were between 19 and -13 weeks pregnant, the average time from induction to delivery time was 13.1 hours. But, every woman is different, and you may need another session to prepare your body for childbirth.

No two pregnancies are alike. We’ll work with you to determine the best way to help hasten your delivery so you can finally welcome your little bundle of joy to the world. 

Can acupuncture help you recover after childbirth?

Once you’ve given birth, your pregnancy journey doesn’t stop there. After delivery, your body will need time, patience, and a good support protocol to recover. We encourage our new mothers to continue acupuncture treatments to help them get back on their feet after childbirth and to rebalance their hormones as they heal.

Acupuncture can help manage post-pregnancy symptoms by increasing circulation, fighting inflammation, and supporting healthy musculoskeletal function. Regular acupuncture sessions give your body the boost it needs to readjust after childbirth so you feel better faster.

It’s also worth noting that acupuncture can help with milk supply. It’s estimated that more than 50% of mothers struggle to produce enough milk for their newborns. Acupuncture has been shown to enhance breast milk supply naturally, enabling mothers to nurse their babies themselves rather than relying on formula alone.

In addition to acupuncture, we also advise our clients to practice “Zuo Yue Zi”. Also called the one-month sitting, this ancient practice focuses on supporting the body with sleep, rest, and nutritionally-dense foods. This practice is critical for adjusting to motherhood, fighting postpartum stress, and getting to know your baby.

Acupuncture For Male Fertility

For many couples, getting pregnant isn’t as easy as one, two, three. If you and your partner are planning on expanding your family in the near future, it’s an exciting decision. But it can also be a stressful one, especially if you’ve struggled with infertility issues in the past. Acupuncture is the holistic treatment of choice for many women struggling to get pregnant. But acupuncture can be used to support men, too. If you want to do everything you can to support your reproductive health, here’s how acupuncture for male fertility can help.

Acupuncture increases blood flow to the reproductive organs, improving testicular function, as well as sperm quality and motility. Additionally, acupuncture works to balance hormones and reduce stress levels. 

Acupuncture enhances blood flow to the reproductive organs

One of the big reasons why so many men struggle with infertility and sexual dysfunction is simply because they have poor circulation. Inadequate blood flow to any part of the body means that part of the body can’t function properly. The concept is no different for the reproductive organs.

When we assess a client during an acupuncture session, we don’t just start sticking needles in. First, we look for underlying imbalances and blocked pathways that need a little help to restore the flow of energy. Identifying dysfunction allows us to use acupuncture to rebalance the body, mind, and soul. All of this also improves blood flow.

Once we’ve determined where your body needs help, we’ll insert needles into the correct corresponding points. The act of inserting the needle quickly stimulates circulation, resulting in a rush of blood flow to the surrounding area. Regular sessions improve blood flow throughout the body, ensuring your reproductive organs get all of the oxygen, hormones, and nutrients they need to function properly. 

Acupuncture supports healthy testicular function

Because it enhances blood flow to the reproductive organs, acupuncture significantly improves testicular function. But that’s not the only way that acupuncture can support testicular health. Acupuncture also exerts a potent effect on the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular (HPT) axis, the biofeedback loop that controls male sexual function.

This dual effect that acupuncture has on the testicles results in improved sperm quality and motility. One study showed that men who received acupuncture had a greater concentration of healthy sperm than men who did not. If you and your partner are trying to get pregnant, improving testicular function is key!

At Integrative Healing Arts, we’ve had couples come to our clinic looking to improve their reproductive health together. In the same way that acupuncture enhances testicular function, it also improves ovulation. We’ve successfully treated women, including those who were told they were too old to conceive, get pregnant with the help of acupuncture.

Couples’ acupuncture treatments may not be what you’d call a romantic date night. But if your goal is to support your reproductive health and expand your family, it’s a great start!

Acupuncture supports healthy hormone levels

Let’s go back to the HPT axis for a moment. This biofeedback system is quite complex, and can easily become disrupted based on a variety of factors. Understanding that your HPT axis is dysfunctional is only part of the battle. It’s getting things back in order that’s the tricky part.

But why, exactly, is the HPT axis important? It all comes down to hormones. The hypothalamus detects how much testosterone is currently circulating in your bloodstream. If testosterone levels are too low, it sends a signal to the pituitary gland, which responds by ramping up luteinizing hormone (LH), which, in turn, tells the testicles to produce more testosterone.

Environmental stressors, a sedentary lifestyle, poor dietary choices, and exposure to endocrine disruptors found in common household items can all contribute to HPT axis dysfunction. Even though this sounds like a complicated problem (and, make no mistake, it can be!), acupuncture can help you right the ship and get your HPT axis back on course.

Acupuncture works on the endocrine system directly, normalizing HPT axis function by restoring healthy hormone levels. Regular acupuncture treatments raise testosterone levels and bring LH levels down, boosting your fertility naturally. 

Acupuncture reduces stress and supports general health

Stress is a libido killer, mostly because it causes testosterone levels to tank. But stress doesn’t just take a toll on your sex drive. The stress of everyday life, coupled with the stress of trying to conceive, can actually block conception entirely.

We’ve seen many women who weren’t able to conceive until they could take a moment to relax. A two-week vacation from work and, what do you know? They get pregnant. Often, it’s the same with men. Their fertility doesn’t improve until they get their stress levels under control.

Men who are under a lot of stress tend to have much poorer sperm counts, and the sperm they produce also tends to be of a lower quality. This is a one-two punch that can make conception extremely difficult, if not impossible.

The good news is that acupuncture is an excellent tool for reducing stress levels. Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins that regulate your mood and create a sense of well-being, making it much easier to cope with stress. This has a positive effect on your HPT axis, improving testosterone production and, of course, sperm quality.

What Are The Benefits Of Acupuncture For Fertility?

Some couples never think twice about their fertility. They get pregnant on their first try. But many men and women struggle with infertility which can make conception seem impossible. Infertility is a complex issue that can be caused by a variety of different factors. But at Integrative Healing Arts, we have yet to meet a client who didn’t benefit in some way from acupuncture sessions. Acupuncture is an all-natural treatment method that works with your body. It’s a simple way to support reproductive health. But just what are the benefits of acupuncture for fertility?

Acupuncture is useful for improving fertility in both men and women. Regular sessions normalize hormone levels, increase blood flow to the reproductive tract, and enhance sperm and egg quality. 

Acupuncture normalizes hormone levels in men and women

If you and your partner are trying for a baby, hidden hormonal imbalances may be sabotaging your efforts. Healthy hormone levels are a good indicator of fertility, so for men, that means optimizing testosterone levels, and for women, regulating menstrual cycles.

Of course, both of these tasks can be easier said than done. Stress from work and everyday responsibilities, combined with poor dietary and lifestyle choices, can throw your hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis off kilter. Certain health conditions can also influence fertility.

For instance, women who struggle with PCOS often have trouble conceiving on their own. Insulin resistance, as well as endocrine disorders like hypothyroidism, may also have a negative impact on your hormones. There are many factors at play when it comes to your hormone levels, and it can feel overwhelming at times. Fortunately, acupuncture can help you overcome them all and restore hormonal balance.

In women, acupuncture has long been used to regulate menstrual cycles by improving estrogen, progesterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels. Men also benefit, as acupuncture reduces FSH and LH and increases testosterone. The result in both men and women is not only enhanced fertility but also improved sex drive.

Acupuncture improves egg and sperm quality

Acupuncture has the power to normalize hormone levels, and that will go a long way toward improving your fertility on its own. But another thing acupuncture does is improve circulation. By utilizing the correct pathways, the needles we place can direct more blood and energy to the reproductive tract, which supports healthy gonadal function.

Women who have undergone acupuncture treatments show an improvement in ovarian activity. For women who struggle to ovulate, acupuncture can be tremendously beneficial. Acupuncture treatments also result in improved egg quality and better endometrial receptiveness.

As for men, acupuncture significantly enhances blood flow to the testicles, which leads to an uptick in sperm production. The sperm of men who choose acupuncture treatments is also generally of a higher quality and has better motility than the sperm of men who do not undergo acupuncture.

Overall, acupuncture’s regulatory effects on hormones and the endocrine system in general, coupled with its ability to improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, make it a useful tool for men and women dealing with infertility.

Acupuncture helps you manage stress levels

Stress. We all have it. Chances are, if you and your partner are trying to conceive, you’re feeling more stressed than ever before. And the more you try not to stress out, the more stressed out you feel. But, don’t sweat it — acupuncture’s got you covered once again!

Acupuncture has long been used to promote a sense of relaxation, and the way it works is twofold. First, as needles are inserted, they cause muscles to release tension. When we feel overwhelmed, we often unconsciously tense up our muscles. Acupuncture forces them to relax, so you can physically “loosen up”.

On top of this, acupuncture enhances the mood by altering your brain chemistry. Acupuncture is believed to trigger the release of endorphins and oxytocin. It also leads to an increase in serotonin activity in the brain. Both of these “happy” neurochemicals help to put you at ease, so it’s easier for you to handle stress and take things all in stride.

Whether you’re currently trying to get pregnant, are planning on expanding your family in the future, or are simply trying to improve your general health, it’s important to manage your stress levels. Acupuncture is perhaps the best holistic treatment for stress there ever was. Adding acupuncture to your stress management program is an excellent way to support your general wellness. 

Acupuncture has no negative side effects

If you’re dealing with infertility issues, it can be tempting to turn to pharmaceuticals to try to force your body into fertility. The medications your doctor suggested may hijack your biological processes and artificially enhance your fertility. But, often, these medications come with a laundry list of bad side effects.

Acupuncture, on the other hand, is completely safe. It’s non-invasive and does not cause side effects. Because it doesn’t cause residual symptoms, acupuncture has nothing but benefits to offer. It’s what we call supportive therapy. It helps your body help itself, encouraging each bodily system to function as it should without forcing anything.

Whether you choose to go with the Western medicine route to fertility is up to you. Either way, acupuncture can play an important role in your path to pregnancy. We’ve helped many couples restore and preserve their fertility with acupuncture alone. But we’ve also helped couples who use IVF/IUI conceive, too. We’re happy to work with you to figure out which method is just the right fit.
