My husband and I had been trying to conceive for 3 years. In 2006, we had conceived but at 18 weeks I miscarried. When we came to Carolyn, she told us, she would need at least 3 months to help me conceive, maybe even 6. She encouraged me to stop coffee and soft drinks which I did and to eat more vegetables, lean protein and fruits and cut back on processed foods and sugar. She empathized with my emotional struggle and gave me words of incredible encouragement. Amazingly, after two months, I did conceive!. My husband who was very doubtful of the acupuncture was especially surprised, needless to say we were overjoyed! I continued to come for weekly acupuncture treatments through 12 weeks, at that time I also found out, I had an incompetent cervix, so the doctor had to stitch up my cervix. Then at 22 weeks I began to have some mild contractions and I was put in the hospital on bed rest for 95 days. I only got up to go to the bathroom. At 36 weeks I was released from the hospital and went home but still had to take it easy. At 38 weeks my water broke and I gave birth vaginally to a healthy 6 lbs. 8 oz., baby girl on 2-18-11 at 1 PM. We are so thankful and cannot believe we have our baby finally! My husband especially! The doctors just told us she needs to fatten up a little. Thank you Carolyn and I hope to come see you again to revive my energy after this long 9 months. It was worth every day of it!
