I don’t have personal experience, but I saw a nurse inserting needles into my wife’s face while my wife was delivering a baby. My beautiful wife’s face looked like a hedgehog for a few minutes, and she did not like the feeling. It was my wife’s first (and so far last) experience with acupuncture. We are not totally averse to the idea of trying it again, but the next time it must not happen unexpectedly while she is delivering a baby.
