At first I wasn’t even going to think about breastfeeding because I get horrible migraines but during pregnancy they have been under control with acupuncture and no meds. So my husband and I talked about it and we decided that I would try it until I got a migraine and then I should start taking my medication again so I can care for baby and not be in bed with a migraine for a week.

My plan if I decided to breastfeed was to nurse during the day but at night offer her a bottle that way my husband could help and bond with her too feeding her. But last night we went to a breastfeeding class at our hospital and they said while baby is in the hospital and if we are planning on breastfeeding they will not allow baby to have a bottle or even a pacifier & once we take baby home we shouldn’t give her a bottle or a pacifier for at least her first 2 weeks of life. But I see on shows like “Bringing Home Baby” that the hospital will tell moms to bottle feed until their milk comes in & that kind of things. So I guess my question is did you both nipple & bottle feed? Did it work out? Did your baby get confused? Because if I can’t bottle feed her at night I don’t think I want to nurse because I want my husband to be able to help as much as possible and he agrees he wants to be able to have that bonding experience with her as well.
I have been off all migraine medication since finding out I was pregnant. I have an appointment with my neurologist on 2/22. The main reason for this appointment is to get safe medicine for baby because my previous medication was not safe for me to use if I was pregnant or breastfeed.

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 7 months now and my periods were always irregular and painful when I did get them! My breasts were sore and I would get bad cramps and a week of spotting before my period was due. Also my ovulation was off…WAY off. So I have been seeing an acupuncturist for 2 months now to try and help regulate my periods and for fertility and I think It’s working, although she said to give it atleast 3 months. My question is, Has anyone else experienced similar issues and gotten acupuncture, and what was the outcome? Also when and if you did get pregnant, did the acupuncture help alot with the symptoms that come along with pregnancy?
I have seen changes, It really is amazing how soon you see changes even though they tell you to be patient and give it 3 months! There is a good chance I may be pregnant as we speak although I am giving it another week before I test! I really do HIGHLY recommend acupuncture for infertility!

More the stress that it could cause to the baby and may force and unplanned C section. What about acupuncture? Thank you in advance.

My wife is 8 weeks pregnant and is suffering from nauseas.
She wants to start acupuncture treatment in order to relieve the nauseas and to feel better.
Is it safe during pregnancy?. Does it help?.
Thank You!
