Has anyone tried acupuncture as a treatment for morning sickness?

I used the accupressure bands that are designed for travel sickess and they worked really well.

I had acupuncture 3 times a week until 14 weeks and it helped enormously every time.

Thanks guys... a really stupid question I suppose (never been for acupuncture before!) where do they stick the needles?

Thanks for the info.. will definitely have a go..

why not, I've tried gingernut biscuits, stem ginger, peppermint tea, and am just about to try cider vinegar in a warm glass of water in the morning..how disgusting does that sound! Having needles stuck in can't be worse than that

Another vote for acupuncture helping maintain a strong and healthy pregnancy. My guy "needled" a couple of points in my feet, my ankles and inside my knees. It's not painful; you may feel a slight discomfort initially when a needle corresponds to certain areas ( I went initially after an early m/c to re-establish my cycle; it really worked as I came on 2 days later. I did wince a bit at one particular needle first time in and was told that the point in question corresponded to my uterus. FWIW, I'm now 39 weeks pregnant!).
I found it mostly very relaxing and it definitely helped with nausea and also with energy levels.
Hope it works for you!
