Feeling that nagging lower-back ache every morning? Tired of sleepless nights and mood swings that just won’t quit? Welcome to pregnancy. But does it have to be so uncomfortable? At Newport Wellness Group, located in Newport Beach, CA, we don’t think so. We serve moms in Costa Mesa and all across Southern California who need more than the usual prenatal advice. We deliver an evidence-based acupuncture approach that puts you in the driver’s seat of a calmer, stronger journey to motherhood. Ready to see if acupuncture can smooth out some of the bumps? Why Moms Crave Better Solutions Pregnancy is tough. But do you really want another pill, another appointment, another “just deal with it” shrug? Our experience suggests acupuncture may ease physical pains, reduce swelling, and stabilize those unpredictable emotions. Imagine fewer aches, fewer sleepless nights, and a bit more sanity in your day-to-day. Doesn’t that sound appealing? Research even hints that acupuncture might boost emotional well-being, helping you enjoy pregnancy on a deeper level. After all, why simply endure when you can thrive? Easing Aches and Pains Swollen feet that turn every step into a chore. A backache that flares up whenever you bend to pick up groceries. We get it. Growing a baby means stress on your muscles and ligaments. But what if tiny, precisely placed needles could help release tension? Acupuncture aims to kick your body’s self-repair into gear, improving circulation and soothing overworked areas. Picture the relief that follows a targeted, strategic session designed for your specific stage of pregnancy. Sound too good to be true? Many moms say it’s a game-changer. Could it be yours? Mind over Mood Swings Pregnancy hormones can turn an ordinary day into a rollercoaster of tears and smiles. Ever wonder if you’re the only one who can’t keep it together? You’re not alone. Emotional strain is often part of the prenatal package. But here’s the question: can acupuncture offer you a calmer ride? Some studies suggest it can encourage the release of endorphins—feel-good chemicals that may ease moodiness and stress. Are you ready to try a drug-free strategy for balancing out those emotional highs and lows? Meet the Team That Cares Credentials matter, especially when you’re carrying a child. Newport Wellness Group’s own Dr. Shohre Mehvar, OMD, LAc (Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Licensed Acupuncturist) and Dr. Shabnam Pourhassani, DACM, LAc, QME, FABORM (Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, Licensed Acupuncturist, Qualified Medical Evaluator, Fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine) bring specialized training to the table. Dr. Pourhassani has dedicated years to reproductive medicine, working closely with women who face fertility challenges or complicated pregnancies. That means you’ll be in experienced hands, guided by someone who truly “speaks the language” of pregnancy. Tailored for Each Trimester No two pregnancies are alike, and you probably have a hundred questions. Is this safe in the first trimester? Can I get acupuncture two weeks before my due date? We tailor every aspect of care to your specific situation. Maybe you just need relief from pesky hip pain or want to curb those morning queasies without reaching for over-the-counter meds. We listen, we assess, and we design a plan that targets your greatest concerns. That level of customization keeps you safe—and helps you feel empowered. Building a Resilient Future Is acupuncture just a nine-month fix? Absolutely not. Think about postpartum recovery: hormones shifting again, a new baby to care for, and a rollercoaster of emotions that might leave you feeling drained. The tools you learn now can support you down the road. Wouldn’t it be nice to tackle those challenges from a place of calm and confidence? By starting acupuncture during pregnancy, you’re laying the foundation for smoother post-birth transitions. It’s about fostering resilience for the new chapter that comes after the delivery room.
