Successful VBAC after C-section!

by Stacey
(Charlestown RI)

I sought out Amelia in order to help me achieve my VBAC goal. I was 38 and pregnant with my second child and was seeking out all useful alternative medical treatments to help me prepare for my attempted VBAC after my C-section 3 years ago.

It's hard to summarize my thoughts and feelings around the time I spent with Amelia. I few things you should know...

1. Acupuncture just helps your body feel batter while pregnant! Even if you are having a healthy normal pregnancy, you will see a difference in your energy.

2. Amelia is passionate and committed to each patient. By the end of my pregnancy I knew even if I didn't have a VBAC that together Amelia and I had given me the best shot ever. Going into labor at peace and focused was an incredible help

3. Acupunture works...or at least it did for me. I had a successful VBAC in September. During the hard parts of labor I knew how to keep myself calm and focused thanks to Amelia.

Hi Amelia, I have also been diagnosed with low ovarian reserve with an AMH test. My question is since I can't conceive naturally, whether or not acupuncture will help in my situation? Will it help with a better response to medications thereby producing more eggs with potentially good egg quality to have a healthy child? What do you think of acupuncture and low ovarian reserve? Thank you for your assistance, Shelley

In my opinion acupuncture is better than Boston IVF. I started seeing Amelia Hirota at the Center of Balance after I had gone through 6 IVF cycles with 3 transfers. My last cycle ended with a miscarriage at 6 weeks. Learn why Samantha feels that acupuncture worked better than Boston IVF for her.

Dear Amelia, My name is Heather and I've been seeing an acupuncturist that I really like here in San Diego. I recently completed a comprehensive female hormone panel saliva test and it showed that I have high testosterone levels. I was told that I have too much sugar in my diet with possible PCOS. What do you think about high testosterone levels and PCOS?


Dear Amelia, I have uterine fibroids and I had a myomectomy when I was 27. My goal in to get pregnant and shrink the fibroids without undergoing another surgery. Please let me know what you think my coarse of action should be. Learn the answer to Oneka's question, "can acupuncture shrink uterine fibroids?" and ask your own questions too.
