[quote=Anonymous]Acupuncture was unfortunately completely ineffective at inducing labor in my case (whereas it was a critical part of my TTC efforts). My acupuncturist said that it tends to be more helpful at speeding things up when readiness has begun already (some dilation or effacement, for instance), which was not my situation, rather than starting them off to begin with. BTW, I was induced at 41 weeks and 3 days. I labored as long as I could on pitocin (12 hrs on cervadil, followed by 12 hours on pitocin) in order to be able to move around a lot, then had the epi and finished laboring so that I could get some rest (another 8 hrs). Ended up delivering vaginally. There is no need to go immediately to a c-section mindset if you do not go into labor without medical assistance. GL to you![/quote]
