Acupuncture really works!

Yesterday, I went to see my acupuncturist and she decided that she was ready to do some points to start softening my cervix and to start strengthening all my organs for birth prep. I was excited to get started! She started at my feet and all was fine...then she got up to my ears. After 3 needles in one ear, I had a strange flash before my eyes...then after moving to the second ear, I got incredibly dizzy, nauseous, and felt faint. I began sweating profusely and told her immediately. She removed the needles from my ears, sat me up and got me water. The symptoms faded quickly but I think it shocked both of us! Her exact words were, "well, if people think these needles don't do anything, we just proved them wrong!" So true! I have always felt that acupuncture works, however I have never literally felt it so strongly! Needless to say, she is holding off on any induction points until after 37 weeks as to not send me into labor too early! :)
