Is it safe to do acupuncture after getting bfp?

I have a question for all of you.

For only this cycle I used accupuncture. I took 10 sessions and still left with 1.

I am thinking to take that that on Saturday Dec 20.
Is it safe to do acupuncture after getting ? Have anyone did it?

I think acupunture plays important role in this cycle but really don't want to take any chances.

I did acupuncture 1x a week for many weeks after my bfp. Of course they knew I was pregnant and they specifically told me that they were not doing certain treatments b/c I was pregnant. They didn't use the heat lamp on my tummy and they didn't put needles in certain places etc. They did what they called a pregnancy retaining treatment (I think that's what they called it). BTW Congrats!!!

Just let your practitioner know you're pregnant. Congrats!

I had to take one more blood test and I did not know untill yesterday if we proceed or not.

So all need all the sticky vibes in the world to help it stick

I'm glad you were able to proceed and lots of !

Acupanccture

Babyneed :

I also suggest you to tell them you are pregnant as there are certan points ( in lower leg part) that stimulates reproductions orgnas but at the same time stimulates .

I also heard that some acuapncturest would suggest you to stay away from accupancture for several weeks - one months from you day of .
Just to be on a safe side.

So play it safe.

Congratulations!

Thanks ladies!!

yea acupuncturist knows about pregnancy. She told me she won't be putting needeles in certain area. She told me it is safe to do acupuncture after pregancy. Her origin is chinese and she said many preganant womens do it in China.

hopefulmama, It is such a releif that you did that.

I will schedule this saturday appointment. I can cancell anytime if I don't have good feeling of it.

My ultrasound yesterday and OB appointment today went well. Both boys are measuring right on schedule and looking great (though Baby A might have gotten his daddy's big head. ) They're currently both feet down and facing each other. I've got some pics from the ultrasound and I'll scan and post them. I still haven't gained any weight, sigh. I have developed hemorroids, though, oh joy!

Talking with my OB today, she doesn't let twins go later than 37 weeks, so the latest that the babies will arrive is February 23rd!

Irena - Wow Feb 23rd is right around the corner. I can't believe it - it seems like yesterday that you posted that you got your bfp.

Nothing new here. Up early b/c my dh is flying home today - he just landed. I was worried b/c of the potential for bad weather - couldn't sleep. I'm so glad he's almost home.

Hope everyone has a great Friday!

Deb, that is great beta. Congratulation!!

Hi ladies,
Today my 2nd beta is 625. I am in Illinois and we have 6 to 7 inch snow overnight, so I called them and want to go there tomorrow but they don't do it on Saturday, so they gave me Monday's appointment. Then I told her I will be there today then otherwise I drive myself crazy till Monday.

Drive was very bad this morning and I did feel some bad bumps on road and now scared why did I drive in that snow. Very scared..Is that problem for my baby/babies?

Nope, your babies are very well cushioned and protected. Congrats on a great second beta!
