I tried prenatal acupuncture for the first time on Friday. I’ve had a low risk pregnancy, no issues. I wanted to try it out to aide in some pelvic pain and general anxiety/stress I’ve been carrying.
The experience itself was lovely! I felt great the whole time and the acupuncturist was amazing.
Fast forward to that evening, I feel like my body’s been run through a pasta maker. I slept so poorly from pain. Same with last night. The days are okay but when I am sleeping it’s awful. I read that acupuncture can make make feel worse before it gets better but is it worth it if I can’t sleep from the pain??
Has anybody else done this and had the same results? Would love to know others experiences. Do I keep going (knowing that in theory my muscle tension will ease and hopefully this isn’t a problem as I continue on??) or is this not for me and my body?
