A member asked:
Do you think acupunture will help me to reduce lower pelvic pain and braxton contraction? i'm 26wks pregnant. is there anything i should worry about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are acupuncture points that can help quiet the uterus. The concern is whether at 26 weeks these contractions may continue on to being preterm labor. Keep your OB doctor well-informed.
