Pregnancy

Fertility and Pregnancy

Pregnancy is an exciting and sometimes anxious experience. You have nine to ten months to keep yourself healthy so that your baby is safe and nourished while waiting to meet you in the outside world. Pregnancy brings with it some dramatic physical and emotional changes.

Some women sail through pregnancy where others can be faced with challenges. Fortunately Acupuncture has been used for centuries to relieve and prevent complications during pregnancy.

It is a drug free, effective and safe tool for successful management of pregnancy symptoms such as:

Pregnancy sickness (nausea, vomiting, hyperemesis gravidarum) Varicose veins and Haemorrhoids Breech and posterior positioned babies Prebirth treatment to prepare the body for labour**
Miscarriage Heartburn Constipation Muscular-skeletal pains
Fatigue and exhaustion Insomnia Anxiety and depression Itching in pregnancy
Anaemia Sinusitis Sinusitis Carpal tunnel syndrome
Small for date babies Induction (cervical ripening)

Testimonials

  • I went to my GP with a Frozen Shoulder and he recommended me to a consultant at Blackrock Clinic and Physiotherapy. After a long time and spending a lot of money, nothing was helping and I also developed excruciating Sciatica in one hip. My mother suggested acupuncture and Gillian was recommended to me. She sorted my pain after a few visits.

  • I was referred to Gillian with re-current miscarriage and auto immune issues 2 years ago. From the moment i met Gillian I knew I was with the right person. Her knowledge and understanding of my specific issues go far and beyond that of an acupuncturist. Through Gillian, I always felt equipped for the journey that lay ahead for us. My husband and I both feel that Gillian played an integral part of the safe arrival of our baby 6 months ago.
