For those that did accupuncture while TTC, did you continue through pregnancy?
-
How long were you doing treatment for before your bfp? I feel like if I saw results that I thought were a part of the acupuncture I might continue through pregnancy to help keep myself balanced.

I actually started accupuncture while pregnant to manage carpal

@MrsMccarthy: I started accupuncture not that long ago, maybe three weeks ago? I can't remember exact date. It really relaxes me.
Anyone else???

I've done accupuncture for a long time prior to getting pregnant (I've had a lot of success treating osteoarthritis in my knees), and I've been meaning to get back since getting pregnant, but life has been so crazy!
My acupuncturist said that they can have success treating morning sickness, sciatic nerve pain, and a bunch of other not-so-nice pregnancy symptoms.
I also love having a bit of time that is just for me- it is so relaxing!

I did thru the first trimester and would love to start up again if my bed rest stops. loved it!
-
I kept with it through the first trimester, but stopped after 13 or so weeks.

I didn't. My last session was the day after the embryo transfer. Once I found out five days later that I was pregnant, it never even occurred to me to keep going! Sounds like a nice idea, though. I always felt so relaxed afterwards.

I did it while TTC and through IVF. I continued through my first trimester. I was so worried about miscarriage that I didn't want to change anything that contributed to the BFP. I asked my acupuncturist how long I should continue and she said that through the first trimester was the minimum that she recommended.

I started going to acupuncture the month I got my BFP, and I've been going about once a month since (I'm now 19 weeks). Early in my first trimester, I had some anxiety-inducing spotting so I went for that purpose. Now I've mostly been going for relaxation and a guaranteed nap when I'm there

Yep, till 15 weeks to increase blood flow to the uterus and reduceiscarriage risk. Also for morning sickness but I'll be honest, it didn't touch that.
