Natural pregnancy and birth

 * De voertaal op deze blog is Engels. Kijk voor algemene informatie op mijn nederlandse site www.qiquest.nl *

Being pregnant can be a very exiting period for you and your partner.  Acupuncture combined with tuina-massage can help relief a number of pregnancy related symptoms such as:
* nausea,
* insomnia,
* backache
* swollen ankles
* preparing for a natural birth
* getting back on your feet

Preparing for a natural birth can start in week 36 through having weekly treatments. When the birth needs to be induced acupuncture can be very effective in week 42. During the birth itself your partner can help with the use of acupressure to give relief and assist the natural process. A short introduction in acupressure during birth for you and your partner is given by Qi Quest.
After the birth acupuncture and tuina helps to get back on your feet.
