CASE STUDY : Fertility - Claire

Introduction

Fertility is the ability to conceive a child. Fertility may not be at the forefront of your mind during the majority of your reproductive life and may only be thought of once a decision has been made to start a family.

Presentation

I came to Emma highly anxious and stressed. I had been trying to conceive (TTC) for 2 years, and I really wanted a natural pregnancy

Treatment

After 4 months of Chinese herbs and regular acupuncture, I finally fell pregnant! Emma then supported me through the pregnancy, reducing my morning sickness, constipation and anxiety. I went on to have a beautiful home birth and a healthy baby boy named Leroy :)
