Abstract | Background: In the United Kingdom a professional acupuncture network, Acupuncture (For Conception to) Childbirth Team (ACT), provides education and support for practitioners using maternity acupuncture. However, the nature of the treatments they provide is unknown. Conclusions: ACT practitioners were providing treatmenting for a wide range of pregnancy related conditions, possibly because referrals from medical health professionals were more common than for fertility issues or menstrual health. It may be that acupuncturists in other countries would benefit from modelling this approach to support maternity acupuncture and build referral networks with medical health professionals.
