Acupuncture is used in pregnancy to benefit both mother and infant. The organ systems of a baby develop in a predictable, recognized order so long as nothing is wrong. But babies are vulnerable even in the womb. They may be assaulted by toxins in the mother's blood, leaving them at risk of higher fevers in childhood, a higher frequency of illness, and increased bouts of eczema and diaper rash. Acupuncture treatments given once a month promote good health of mother and baby. During the last month, treatments once a week help both prepare for the upcoming birth. Most often, acupuncture causes no significant problems for mother or baby.
