"I have a history of being over due by two weeks so when I came to Sara's office pregnant with my second baby I was so ready to get labor started.  I remember thinking to myself,' Please let this work!'  I had to be induced with my first, so I wasn't expecting anything to happen.  I relaxed right away under Sara's gentle and confident touch.  The heat lamps felt so good and I started to float away into meditation.  Then the unbelievable happened... My water broke right then and there!  We were both amazed and ecstatic!  It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life and to have shared it with Sara was truly a blessing!"

"Nest Acupuncture was just what I needed to get my labor going when I was one week overdue and my doctor wanted to induce me.  I felt very strongly about wanting my labor to begin naturally.   I had heard about Nest through good friends and I knew it was the right thing to try.  I had acupuncture with Sara on a Monday late afternoon and and on my way home on the GGB my labor contractions began.   They felt like braxton hicks (which I had only a couple of times prior) but they were coming every 1-3 minutes.  When I got home I had some dinner, went to bed and awoke at 11:15 pm that night when I felt my first "real" contraction!  I was amazed at how quickly things progressed once I had the acupuncture.  I was delighted to finally be in labor without having to be induced.  I had a healthy baby boy the following day. I highly recommend going to Nest for some or all of your pregnancy needs. Thank you Nest Acupuncture for your expertise and your amazing and caring team!"
