Can I receive acupuncture slimming when planning for pregnancy? Will it affect the baby in the future?
We suggest that obese women who are planning for pregnancy to participate in acupuncture slimming. This is because their heavy body weight will increase further after pregnancy and this will lead to weak contraction of the womb and may in turn affect the fetus. Therefore, pre-pregnancy weight loss is a very wise policy for the sake of the mother’s health and it does not affect the baby in the future.

Does menstrual cycle affect the effectiveness of acupuncture slimming?
Menstrual cycles do have some influence on the effectiveness of acupuncture slimming. Many women will experience hormonal changes which can lead to water retention before their menstruation cycle. Hence, their body weight may not reduce during this period or they may even experience slight rebound. However, this is a temporary physiological phenomenon. Their body weight will continue to decline after this period.
