Hi there all


I wondered whether anyone could help me out by recommending an acupuncturist for helping to bring on labour? 41 wks tomorrow and keen to avoid a medical induction if at all possible, so any recommendations are hugely appreciated :)



Thank you in advance! x

Not accupuncture but I went and had maternity reflexology done with Monica at the Dulwich Therapy rooms, 2 days after my due date and I went into labour the following morning. My friend also went into labour 24 hours after having reflexology.


It's worth a shot!

I can also highly recommend Giles Davies. He practices out of his groudfloor office at 15a Barry Road. He and his wife have grown children, so he's a very good sounding board for all things family related too.


Ella Keepax is excellent as well. She practices out of Harley Street, but she lives locally I think. You can do a search for her user name. I believe she's on the Forum.


Best of luck. xx

I saw Claire at health matters - heartily recommend. I too was very overdue and after two sessions had to cancel the third because I had just produced a healthy baby boy (just before appointment to be induced). Good luck with it - I know how hard the wait is, but it will happen! X

The problem with all these success stories is that they are all testimonies from women who were overdue, and - surpise surprise - subsequently went into labour.


I tried everything to bring labour on - I ate hot curries, walked around four miles a day, had sweeps with my midwife and yes, in a moment of weakness, had acupuncture.


I really regret spending ?50 to have six needles poked into me and then wriggled around. If you want to take action - and I really understand that desire to do something, anything, to get things moving - then maybe consider a massage designed to induce pregnancy. I had two of those and they were worth every penny - they completely relaxed me and I think helped prepare me for giving birth, so that even if the specific massage oil she used (which included clary sage) had no effect, it was money well spent.


I went to Amy in Dulwich Village - http://www.thedulwichtouch.co.uk


Good luck.

Hi ladies - in true will try anything style I've booked an acupuncture appointment for tomorrow and Amy for massage on Thurs when I will be 41+2 so fingers crossed! Plus had a sweep today so here's hoping! Thanks again for all the tips - really hoping something will give as Kings are hell bent on induction if she doesn't come by the end of the weekend! Xx

    • This is the relevant passage, I believe "Southwark Council (Peckham Rye, Burgess Park, Southwark Park) will earn a projected £440,000 from events in its parks in 2025, up from £340,000 in 2024. Events include GALA Festival in Peckham Rye, August’s Boiler Room, Jazz Café and Maiden Voyage in Burgess Park, and RALLY festival in Southwark Park." What would of course be interesting to know is what they spend this on. Is there any transferred benefit to those local people who live around and use these facilities? But I wouldn't hold your breath for an answer.
    • An interesting article from Journalist Jim Waterson about how much councils make from festivals....it starts with an article about 5g but scroll down for the festivals article    https://www.londoncentric.media/p/real-5g-conspiracy-how-londoners-lied-over-their-phone-signal
    • Could you give the news source so that I can see whether it is reliable (like BBC) or nuts ( like Reform conspiracy insights)?
