Have any of you got experience with acupuncture before giving birth to ease the labour pains and shorten the time of labour? Do you believe it works?
I have had a few sessions of acupuncture before giving birth to shorten the time of labour and to ease the pain while in labour as I did not have any pain relief. Obviously since this was my first baby and every birth is different anyways I do not know if it really worked. All I can say is that my labour was very quick and the pain was manageable without any gas and air or an epidural.

I don't think I would trust anyone to stick needles in me! I don't like taking blood tests even and I took only the one that was mandatory at my prenatal appointment. I would look at any other way I can to ease pain other than needles, although I do appreciate non-pharmaceutical methods.
