I am an active member of the Acupuncture for Childbirth Team (ACT) East Anglia sitting on its steering committee. The Acupuncture for Childbirth Team (ACT) East Anglia is an established group of acupuncture practitioners who share a particular interest in the use of acupuncture for fertility in pregnancy and labour. Our aim is to promote the use and to increase the availability of traditional acupuncture prior to conception, during pregnancy, labour and the post-natal period.
