Approximately half of pregnant women complain of more or less nausea and vomiting in the first period of pregnancy. Although most of them resolve spontaneously by the 4th month, in some pregnant women, nausea and vomiting can be persistent and severe enough to cause weight loss.
Acupuncture is a treatment method with no side effects. Due to this feature, acupuncture treatment can be applied during pregnancy. In acupuncture treatment, classical body acupuncture is applied to pregnant women and the sessions last approximately 20 minutes. Apart from acupuncture treatment, the expectant mother is also informed about the details of nutrition during this sensitive period, and hypnotic suggestions are also added to the treatment if necessary. In our patients, starting from the first session, nausea and vomiting decrease, stress disappears and appetite improves. During pregnancy, which disrupts the quality of life from malnutrition to anxiety and depressive symptoms, a more comfortable, peaceful and happy pregnancy can be experienced with acupuncture. In our center, migraine treatment in pregnant women and pregnancy depression treatment are also provided with acupuncture.
