BALANCED BLOOM
Steady Support with Second Trimester Acupuncture
The second trimester is a chapter of renewed energy and visible change — weeks when the body blossoms yet still navigates physical and emotional shifts. At The Violette House, we proudly support women with a specialized acupuncture for second trimester program. Using gentle, time-tested techniques, we ease discomforts, nurture balance, and help you feel strong and centered in your growing body.
HOW IT WORKS
How Does Acupuncture Support the Second Trimester?
Acupuncture works by sustaining balance, easing symptoms, and supporting your body as it grows with pregnancy. Here’s how:
Eases Discomforts
Acupuncture reduces nausea, fatigue, and discomfort while improving digestion and sleep, helping you feel supported in pregnancy.
Balances Hormones
By regulating stress hormones, acupuncture improves mood, eases anxiety, and supports smooth adaptation to trimester changes.
Boosts Circulation
Treatments enhance uterine blood flow, improving oxygen and nutrient delivery for your baby while boosting daily energy.
Promotes Wellness
Acupuncture calms your nervous system, reduces tension, and encourages deep rest, leaving you centered and refreshed weekly.
OUR INTAKE
Gentle Acupuncture for Mid-Pregnancy
At The Violette House, every treatment begins with a thorough intake to understand your stage of pregnancy, current symptoms, and overall health. We tailor each session for comfort and safety, working closely with your prenatal care provider. Our goal is to help you feel lighter, more rested, and more supported — so you leave each visit ready to enjoy your days with renewed energy and ease.
WEEK-BY-WEEK CARE
Your Second Trimester Acupuncture Roadmap
The second trimester brings renewed strength and ongoing growth. Acupuncture nurtures balance, eases change, and keeps you supported throughout.
Weeks 14–18 – Settling In
These early mid-pregnancy weeks are about comfort and balance. We target common aches, ease lingering nausea, and support digestion—helping you feel grounded, supported, and more at ease in your wonderfully changing body.
Weeks 19–24 – Growing Comfort
As your baby and belly grow, we work to relieve swelling, improve sleep, and ease muscle tension. Treatments also support healthy digestion and circulation, while calming the nervous system for emotional balance and sustained energy.
Weeks 25–27 – Preparing for the Third Trimester
In the final stretch of the second trimester, our care helps maintain comfort, reduce tension, and support healthy posture as your body adjusts to more rapid growth. We strengthen resilience so you enter the third trimester feeling balanced and ready.
The Second Trimester & Pregnancy Health
These middle months support your baby’s continued development and your own physical well-being. While every pregnancy is unique, acupuncture offers safe, natural support to reduce discomfort, balance mood, and create a healthy environment for you and your growing baby.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Second Trimester Acupuncture Questions
-
Think of acupuncture as a gentle nudge for your body to find its natural balance during a time of big changes. In the first trimester, it can ease morning sickness, lift your energy, improve digestion, and help you sleep more soundly. At The Violette House, we tailor each treatment to how you’re feeling that day — so whether you’re queasy, tired, or just needing a moment to breathe, your session is designed to help you walk out feeling calmer, more comfortable, and supported from the inside out.
-
Yes — when performed by a trained, licensed practitioner, acupuncture is considered safe in early pregnancy. We use gentle techniques and avoid points that aren’t recommended at this stage, focusing instead on those that calm your body and encourage healthy pregnancy function. Every treatment is done with your comfort and safety in mind, and we’re always happy to work alongside your prenatal care provider so you feel completely confident in your care.
-
You can begin as soon as you find out you’re pregnant — some women even start while trying to conceive to prepare their bodies for pregnancy. In the first trimester, weekly or biweekly sessions can help you manage symptoms, support hormonal changes, and build a strong foundation for the months ahead. We’ll help you create a plan that works with your schedule and keeps you feeling your best.
-
That depends on your goals and how your body responds. Many moms-to-be start with weekly sessions during the first trimester to keep symptoms like nausea and fatigue under control. If your symptoms are intense, we may suggest coming in twice a week for a short time. Our goal is to make sure you feel supported — not just in your pregnancy, but in your daily comfort and peace of mind.
-
Some insurance plans do cover prenatal acupuncture, but it varies depending on your provider and policy. We’re in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and AllWays/Mass General Brigham. For other providers, we’re happy to give you a superbill to submit for reimbursement and can help guide you through the process. We can also check whether your insurance covers acupuncture — the verification process is fast and easy. Click here to see if your insurance covers acupuncture.
