Acupressure for Labor and Birth - Fort Worth

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE ACUPRESSURE FOR MY LABOR AND BIRTH?
The majority of babies born in the U.S. show signs of stress or traumatic imprinting which begins with their fist interaction with the outside world - namely their birth. Natural, non-invasive techniques such as acupressure, acumassage, and gentle Asian massage techniques can prevent such trauma and help the mother and child to bond and enjoy their first moments of physical interaction. These techniques also aid in the process of giving birth and can eliminate some of the issues that can arise during this precious time.

WHAT IS ACUPRESSURE USED FOR?
  • Facilitates labor to start for post due babies
  • Encourages labor to progress at a steady pace and may prevent the use of medical intervention
  • May help baby to position correctly for birth and/or help turn a breech baby
  • May help to maintain the mother's and baby's vital signs and prevent unnecessary medical interventions

Yes, you should choose acupressure. After 21 hours of stagnant labor with contractions 8 minutes apart, Hannah came personally to me for an acupressure session to hopefully speed things up. At 11 pm, three hours after she left, my water broke and I went into active labor. Our baby girl was born only seven hours after our acupresure session. We consider Hannah part of our birth team even though we only met her hours before the birth. I'm not sure what would have happened without her! I would absolutely do it again!
