Pregnancy and the birthing process are life-changing experiences. Acupuncture can help women through these changes by offering physical and mental support, and may even help shorten labor.
Thank you to Lovelace Health System for sponsoring this guide.
Expecting a baby is an exciting and life-changing journey. Lovelace would like to make your experience as memorable and stress-free as possible by helping you navigate your healthcare. No matter your insurance or birthing plan, our Labor of Love program offers you access to no-cost pregnancy perks and assistance finding a provider or insurance.
When it comes time to deliver, you can expect exceptional, comfortable, and convenient care. Throughout labor and delivery at Lovelace Women’s Hospital, new parents stay in one of our private birthing suites. Equipped with the latest technology, each room is designed for a relaxed and comfortable birthing experience.
In the event your baby is born prematurely or needs special care, our state-of-the-art Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is here to serve you. Our on-site NICU offers 24/7 skilled medical and nursing staff who care for infants as young as 23 weeks of gestation in a quiet, home-like environment.
We are excited to be part of your prenatal care and delivery so that your experience is as safe, healthy, and pleasant as possible.
For more information on our Lovelace birthing services, call 505-727-7677.
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.
In addition to helping with those aches and pains during pregnancy and inducing labor, seeing an acupuncturist is also great postpartum. It can help with insufficient lactation, mastitis, fatigue, pelvic pain, and C-section recovery. It can also help with hormonal imbalances, and even postpartum depression and anxiety.
