Q:
I've been advised that I'll need to be induced next week (due to bubs size) but would prefer to try to kick start things naturally - has anyone had...
Lisa S. replied:
Definitely call Eric at Body & Soul Acupuncture Clinic

Acupuncture worked within a day of due date with my last 2 bubs. First bub I was induced 11 days over so was proactive next time. Also used raspberry leaf tea. East West Fertility at Ashgrove specialise in women, fertility and pregnancy acupuncture.

It's a hike I did it myself 10 months ago but Shen Therapies at Jindalee. Everyone I know who has had it done had success including myself! Good luck. http://www.shentherapies.com.au/

Absolutely! Over the weekend I had 2 acupuncture sessions, raspberry leaf tablets,2.5 hr up hill walks, clary sage oil on a tissue tucked into bra, nipple stimulation/breast pump and had baby monday night...1 hr labour!!! Was amazing! Make sure you ask the acupuncturist to put in the little needle thingys that you leave in for a couple of days and you can continue to work those points at home. I worked them constantly.lol Ph Terry at kedron.specialises in fertility and pregnancy acupuncture. http://www.acupuncturebrisbane.com.au/

Shaun Price (acupuncture) at Everton Park had me in labour the next morning. Fabulous. My bub was 9 lb 2 and one week past due date. Awesome natural birth.

Dr Gordon Phun at Ferny Grove, only GP I know that does acupuncture, think that would be best using a GP and heard all good reviews
