If you had success with acupuncture, when did you stop going?

I have been going for acupuncture for about 2 months and hoping for a this month. I went for acupuncture yesterday and she said she would want to see me through my first trimester. I had thought that once I was pg that I would be done with acupuncture. She said that it can help during the first trimester. I am very tempted to believe her since I had 1 m/c and know I'll have a hard time relaxing during the early part of the pg. What do you think? Is there any harm to continuing the acupuncture? What do you suggest?
Thanks!
Joy

I havent had success yet, but am surely hoping and praying
When it does happen, I would continue going for accupuncture in the first trimester because I have heard that it reduces the risk of miscarraige.
Also, I'd be too scared not to do it. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I miscarry. I know it sounds crazy.

Good luck to you

I asked my dr and he said that I can absolutely continue with acupuncture. I will continue since I am too nervous to stop and will do anything to help.

I wanted to say congratulation Joy. I think your decesion made is a good one. I only started acupuncture and herbs last month and I'm just praying this will work for me too. You take care and have a wonderful 9 months.
