Does Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, need acupuncture? Yes, today more than ever as she waits for the royal spare to make his or her (I think it’s a girl) appearance. Being pregnant past your due date isn’t generally a big deal, but after a certain point, doctors begin to talk about inducing labor. Ugh, drugs.
I successfully see women in my Chicago acupuncture practice for labor induction and I am convinced it is a wonderful option with no side effects. The common Western solution of using Pitocin and other hormones causes strong, painful contractions.
