Did anyone do Acupuncture during first Trimester? I had been doing it the last couple months, but now that I have finally gotten pregnant, I am scared to continue, even though my acupuncturist assures me it is safe..
Any experiences?

Congrats! Yes, I continued to do acupuncture 2x a week (had done 2x week through IVF) and then down to 1x a week after I was 6-7 weeks. It helped my anxiety so much at the very least!

@oskarsmommy: Yes, I had acupuncture during my first trimester and it was great. Helped a lot with nausea, energy, sleep issues, back pain, headaches, etc.

I started acupuncture last month to help while TTC. I got pregnant this cycle, and I had an appt booked for this Friday. I called and cancelled it, then they called me back and said they recommend coming in 2x / week for the first 14 weeks, or whatever I'd like to do. I'm not going to go back right now, not unless I find I have some symptoms I want help with. Otherwise I'm going to save my benefits for the end of pregnancy.

also, congrats!!

Congrats!!! I did acupuncture once per week (no herbs) until I was 8 weeks. I think it was helpful for my anxiety.

Congrats! I'm 26 weeks and have been doing acupuncture my entire pregnancy with an acupuncturist who specializes in fertility. I went once a week in the first trimester, once a month in the second, and will start going once a week again starting at 35 weeks. I think it definitely helped with anxiety in the beginning. I also didn't have any morning sickness...not sure if that was due to the acupuncture, or I just got lucky though. It's fun going now because the baby baby starts moving like crazy after the needles are in.

Yes! It was the only way I managed to eat and feel good through my morning sickness. Total life saver!

Congrats! And YES!!! Totally safe! My acupuncturist has been a life saver for so many things! I'm actually scared to not go. haha

I had just started going to an acupuncturist who does fertility treatments just before I conceived and I continued through my 1st tri. Good luck & congrats!
