Affordable Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture in Portland

My first child was late. Two weeks late and born ten pounds, and I really, really didn’t want that to happen again.  Five days before my son’s due date I went to Brooklyn Community Acupuncture to have my labor induced.  It didn’t hurt.  In fact, I couldn’t stop laughing.  Could NOT stop laughing.  I laughed uncontrollably for an hour, and went home.  My “show” came out an hour later.  The next day I went in for another hour long giggle fest.  At home that night, my labor started, progressed and seven hours later, my son was born.  All I can say is, it beat pitocin hands down.  Furthermore, it was cheap.  Two sessions cost me under $45.  Also cheaper than the pitocin drip!
