Default Anybody ever try Accupuncture??

So I'm due on Saturday, and am extremely uncomfortable. I thought that by now I'd be holding my itsy bitsy baby, but apparently not, lol. And I don't think it's going to be very itsy bitsy after all, haha!

Anyways, I've been seeing a chiropractor throughout my entire pregnancy for my crazy back pain, and he also does accupuncture. He told me at my appt last week that if I wanted, to call the office and he'd squeeze me in to do a bit of accupuncture for me. Just a trigger spot in my hands (between thumb & forefinger). It won't kick-start labor, but it will help my body relax, which sometimes can help the labor process begin.

I'm thinking of calling, but I'm a little nervous. I'm not a huge fan of needles, not sure if sitting there for 10 minutes with needles sticking out of my hands sounds reasonable or not, haha! And does it hurt? I know it's not a big deal - I mean, I'm about to go into LABOR... a needle is not going to hurt like labor will, but yet, I still wonder, lol!!
