Acupuncture to induce labour?

Hi anyone done it and had a good experience? Or know of any stories that acupuncture has helped induce labour? Last few days I've had contractions but they have not mounted to anything, hoping this method may help? Also heard its great for relaxation etc so willing to give it a go?

Any replies would be greatly appreciated

Oh no, nothing happened yet?!

I didn't have acupuncture, but I did try homeopathy to get dd3 to make an appearance. I took caulofilum (sp?) at 6pm and labour started at 1am. Could have been coincidence - who knows?!

Hope something gets this baby moving for you!

Nope, just on/off twinges. My first DC took 50 hours start to finish hoping it's not the same with this one!! Will google that, may try it xx
