Pregnancy acupuncture questions
Pregnancy appointments need careful context. Free the Qi discusses trimester, symptoms, medical history, practitioner advice and comfort before deciding whether acupuncture is suitable.
Answer page
This page is general information only. It does not replace advice from your GP, specialist, fertility team, midwife, mental health practitioner or emergency care.
Your appointment may include questions about trimester, pregnancy history, current symptoms, medication, medical advice, previous pregnancy complications and what you are hoping to discuss.
Treatment options are explained before care begins. Positioning, needle choice and auxiliary therapies are adapted to the stage of pregnancy and your comfort where suitable.
Urgent pregnancy symptoms should be assessed by an appropriate medical service. Acupuncture is not a substitute for antenatal care or emergency advice.
