Welcome
Over my decades of natural health care in all stages off a woman’s life, and pregnancy – it has become apparent to me that attending to the nutrients available to a body and ensuring all circulation of the raw ingredients for life to the cells and tissues and the wastes out resolves any problem – reverting life into as it was to be – easy, and on automatic – healing itself as the need arises. In pregnancy – a woman’s body is repairing itself whilst it is making the new life.
We can correct any prior issues. We can change what is happening. Any preparation is going to help. Especially as mum’s birthing partner and being fully aware of how supportive touch is. All training for a marathon need lead up time. This is an excellent way to prepare mum’s body for its new maternal adventures – regardless of how you intend to bring forth baby.
Please be aware that the information offered here is for general viewing and you are best seeking professional natural health care advice. In all matters acupuncture, from someone who is a dedicated acupuncturist – not someone who is trained in another modality, and who has added a short needling course to improve their scope of practice as they see it. This is particularly the case in pregnancy.
There is an entire eBook series especially ‘Easy Birthing Preparation’.
I suggest that leading into birth you download this and follow it through – what you do at home, nightly, with your partner will assist undo any congestion and stored energy/emotions that will interfere with the labour and its outcome. Emotions are what led the way in all matters women’s health and especially pelvic opening needed for birthing easily. All found in this work feels great and works instantly. Especially if there is any back or other structural pain. Here this is the ‘rescue’ instant version. .
Moxa sacral fan and general pelvic massage will be preludes to these specific points – more not less touching is the key. As it is often very painful to hit these points, I suggest doing both first and also leaning up against her, so she gets a lot of contact – and the points are extra.
Actual labour and for preparation – see ‘Easy Birth Preparation’
Bl 31 – 34 – (Points on the sacrum – in the holes you will find on both sides starting with the top one about 3-4 cm off central line, and gradually getting closer in the lower you go down). Press very deeply
Bl 35 – (On the actual sitting part of the bottom. With the person sitting with bottom overlapping a seat, find the point where the angle of curve changes, about one thumb’s width out from bum crease, go in with an angle 45 degrees, very deeply. Hold and ask them can they feel it in their perineum/cervix? If not change your angle a little).
To open cervix/orgasm release/assist general pelvic opening.
To use at the end of the birth preparation work – moxa sacral fan and then all the rest of the massage and point pressure – this is the ‘decoration’ on the ‘icing’ of the cake.
