Acupuncture to Induce Labor?

Hi J.,

I am so excited for you! I was ten days overdue and went to see an acupuncturist because I was afraid of being induced. I went into labor the next morning! I highly recommend it. I went to Northwestern Memorial Physicans Group Center for Intergrated Medicine at 680 North Lakeshore Drive. You can look it up at nmpg.com Good Luck to you!

I actually did an enema and went to my OB apt (they were just making me check in before making me go and get induced) and my water broke when I got home. I swear it was from the enema!

Hi J.,

I actually used acupuncture to get pregnant and had great success. There is a doctor named Fang Lin at the office of Charles Lo, MD, who specializes in fertility and female care. She is FABULOUS and I recommend her to everyone.

It looks like you received some great recommendations for accupuncturists. I just wanted to throw in that a bunch of my friends swear that eating a small jar of hot salsa put them into labor!
