Taught by nurse and acupuncture expert Debra Betts, prebirthing is a pleasant, supportive, relaxing routine treatment. Visits begin from week 36 of your pregnancy and continue once per week until the baby comes.
This acupuncture programme is carried out in preparation for your birth and has many benefits. ”In clinical practice acupuncture is an ideal method to help women prepare themselves to have the most efficient labour possible. Feedback suggests that prebirth acupuncture offers a range of positive effects that goes beyond reducing the time spent in labour, with midwives reporting a reduced rate of medical intervention.” Debra Betts
Partners are welcome to join us during the last few sessions and are taught acupressure points to use during the birth.
