Pregnancy After Loss

Have you recently experienced a miscarriage or stillbirth? Are you thinking about trying to conceive again, but are terrified of experiencing another loss? You are not alone and we are here to help.

The sadness, fear, and isolation that women experience after miscarriage can be all-consuming. Yet, it is typically concealed in silence. Most women suffer quietly, unable to discuss their true emotions with partners, friends, and family.

Acupuncture is a time-tested, holistic medicine that can help you to heal following a pregnancy loss:

Relaxes the nervous system by reducing anxiety and depression
Regulates hormonal balance
Promotes better sleep
Supports not only the body but also the mind and spirit as you grieve and heal from trauma

There is no timeline for healing from trauma and processing grief from miscarriage. When you are ready to start trying again, acupuncture treatments can also help.

There are many reasons as to why miscarriages occur. Your acupuncturist will review your medical history and check your pattern of imbalances to address the root cause of miscarriage. Here at NYC Acupuncture + Wellness, we listen to you and create a custom treatment plan based on your past experiences and future goals in order to avoid miscarriage from happening again.

If you have decided to start conceiving again, acupuncture treatments' strong focus will be on supporting your body and rebuilding a healthy environment for implantation through the following:

Regulating hormonal balance
Maintaining menstrual regularity
Supporting egg quality, uterine lining, and ovulation

Note that it may take some time for you to be able to get pregnant again because your body needs to be in a balanced state. To do that, regular fertility acupuncture treatments and lifestyle changes are necessary. Your patience with yourself and with the treatments is crucial during this step.

Once pregnant, we work to support early pregnancy by keeping the uterine lining healthy and minimizing uncomfortable pregnancy symptoms such as:

Morning sickness
Heartburn
Constipation
Low back pain

We recommend continuing treatment throughout pregnancy to control symptoms and prepare the body (and fetus) for labor and delivery. In addition, we also offer post-partum support for mothers to ease their body pain, increase their milk production, and support their mental health. In general, acupuncture improves the mother's and fetus's overall quality of life.
