Prepare for Labour Naturally with Acupuncture
At The Body Lab in Canberra, we offer acupuncture treatments specifically tailored to help prepare your body for labour. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and informed by modern physiology, our approach supports your body’s readiness for birth from 38 weeks onward.
Whether you’re hoping to avoid medical induction or simply want to encourage a smooth transition into labour, our gentle and supportive treatments aim to align your body and mind with the rhythms of childbirth.
How Acupuncture Can Support Labour Induction
Our treatments are designed to:
Promote cervical ripening: Stimulate points that encourage the cervix to soften and dilate
Balance hormones: Regulate levels of oxytocin, prostaglandins, and stress hormones
Enhance uterine contractions: Support the body’s natural rhythm to encourage regular, effective contractions
Calm the nervous system: Reduce anxiety and promote parasympathetic activation for optimal labour conditions
Every session is personalised based on your pregnancy, energy levels, and birth preferences.
What to Expect in Your Session
Initial Consultation: We’ll discuss your pregnancy timeline, symptoms, and birth goals
Custom Acupuncture Treatment: We select specific points to support hormonal balance, pelvic readiness, and relaxation
Relaxation and Aftercare: Time to rest and allow your body to integrate the treatment, followed by guidance on follow-up support
Many women notice changes in energy, sleep, and subtle pelvic sensations after their session—signs that the body is preparing.
