Decrease the time between the woman’s expected date of delivery and the actual time of delivery
For mothers deciding to take the natural route, adding acupuncture reduced the rate of medical intervention. Studies show shorter labor times and the reduced need for interventions like C-section and epidurals. As a result reduces stress, cost of labor, and recovery time.
