Acupuncture during pregnancy and the perinatal period: Women's attitudes, beliefs and practices
2020, Women and BirthCitation Excerpt :However, it is well accepted that women have the right to make their own choices in relation to their care18 and on a national level, there is an initiative to support and enhance normal birth.19 Therefore, a woman choosing an adjunct or alternative treatment such as acupuncture/acuneedling may improve her birth outcome and enhance her birth experience, as shown in maternity and obstetric research in Australia and other countries.12,13,15–20,21 Without first understanding childbearing aged women’s attitudes, beliefs and practices to using acupuncture/acuneedling during pregnancy and the perinatal period, it is difficult to move forward with the introduction of acupuncture/acuneedling into the biomedical dominant Australian health system.22
The side effects and mother or child related physical harm from massage during pregnancy and the postpartum period: An observational study
2019, Complementary Therapies in MedicineCitation Excerpt :The symptoms used to determine side effects related to massage therapy are based on common side effects reported from previous massage and safety research in a non pregnant population24–27 and include post massage soreness, bruising, skin reactions, increased pain, exacerbation of symptoms, headaches, dizziness, tiredness or fatigue, post treatment muscle soreness, unsettled digestion, none and or other (please list). The events used to determine unexpected mother or child related physical harm were based on previous research on main pregnancy complications,28 data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare Mothers and Babies reports29 and the concerns raised specifically in relation to massage during pregnancy on the internet.17,18 The questionnaire therefore asked questions to determine if any ‘unexpected’ physical pregnancy/maternal events occurred such as bleeding, hypertension, pre-eclampsia, pre-term delivery or premature rupture of the membranes.
