39 weeks pregnant - acupuncture to induce labour?

Question

My midwife performed a sweep for me earlier today to encourage labour for various reasons. She also suggested Acupuncture and said I will go into labour within 4 hours of the procudure. Has anyone else tried this? I have an appointment tomorrow at 11am.

Answer 1

I haven't tried it, but I think if there was any method of labor induction which guaranteed labor after 4 hours, then it would be quite widely known in the pregnant women community!

I personally don't see how the guarantee stands to be 100%.

But as I said, I've never tried it. (and never will)
