The purpose of this study of 100 pregnant women is to determine if acupuncture using real needles that puncture the skin, starting at thirty seven weeks three days estimated gestational age (EGA), will increase the percentage of women delivering on or before the estimated date of confinement (EDC = 40 weeks EGA), compared with women treated identically but with placebo needles that do not puncture the skin.
