Benefits:
This Care Plan is all about helping you prepare for the birth of your baby. Treatments may help with optimising the baby’s position, preparing the cervix, allowing the uterus to start contracting. Treatments may also help reduce any pain or discomfort that you feel through pregnancy and help promote good quality sleep, reduce stress, and relax into labour. Your first consult at 36 weeks is a general intake session, taking in your medical history and birth preferences.
Any treatments not taken up in this period will be allocated for postnatal care.
Also ideal for those couples where baby is confirmed to be in a posterior or breech position with an ultrasound,
Aside from the main treatments aimed to help with preparing the cervix and helping facilitate cervical dilation, allowing the uterus to start contracting, a focus in the early weeks will be the use of both acupuncture and moxa to help the baby move into the ideal position. After success in getting baby in the correct position, treatments will focus on maintaining and optimizing the baby’s position.
COST: $837 or 10% off our non-packaged cost of $930. Health rebates are available.
