Abstract

It is thought that around 10% of pregnant women turn to acupuncture to alleviate troublesome pregnancy ailments: vomiting, pelvic, back and even labour pain, and to induce labour (Martensson et al. Midwifery 2011;27:87–92). Within this unregulated field, the available literature is of insufficient quality to show whether acupuncture is safe or effective.
