Is it safe to get acupuncture during pregnancy?

Yes: But you want to see someone who is experienced with pregnant women. If it is a treatment that can be delayed until after delivery that might be better.

Gravid Acupuncture: Acupuncture can be safely performed during pregnancy, however there are particular points which must be avoided such as points that hasten delivery.
