Pregnancy is a transformative journey, bringing both joy and physical changes. In Singapore, more mothers-to-be are turning to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support a healthy pregnancy, manage discomfort, and prepare for childbirth.
At Regis Wellness TCM Clinic, our TCMPB-registered physicians provide safe, natural, and personalised prenatal TCM care to help expectant mothers feel balanced, comfortable, and well-supported throughout their pregnancy.
Women’s Health Challenges in Singapore
In Singapore, many women experience health issues linked to today’s fast-paced lifestyle and demanding work culture. Long hours, high stress, and irregular sleep can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to problems such as irregular periods, period cramp/pain, fatigue, and fertility challenges. Rising rates of infertility, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), and endometriosis are becoming more common among younger women, while stress-related conditions often worsen menstrual and menopausal symptoms.
At the same time, Singapore’s ageing female population is also facing menopause-related concerns such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and bone health issues. With more women seeking natural and holistic healthcare options, TCM has become an increasingly popular choice to manage these challenges safely, without relying solely on medication or hormone therapy.
Why Prenatal TCM Care Matters
Pregnancy places unique demands on a woman’s body. From hormonal fluctuations to physical discomfort, many women experience challenges such as morning sickness, fatigue, back pain, and sleep disturbances. TCM offers a holistic approach that aims to:
- Support healthy foetal development
- Balance hormones and promote emotional stability
- Strengthen the mother’s body and immunity
- Ease common pregnancy discomforts naturally
- Prepare the body for labour and recovery
Common Pregnancy Concerns Addressed with TCM
Our prenatal TCM care in Singapore helps manage a wide range of pregnancy-related issues, including:
- Morning Sickness & Nausea – Acupuncture and herbal support can ease nausea and vomiting, especially during the first trimester.
- Back, Hip & Pelvic Pain – Gentle acupuncture and cupping (where appropriate), can relieve musculoskeletal pain caused by changes in posture and weight distribution.
- Insomnia & Fatigue – TCM therapies calm the nervous system, improve circulation, and restore energy, helping mothers sleep better and feel more refreshed.
- Stress & Anxiety – By regulating Qi and calming the mind, TCM can reduce stress levels, promoting mental clarity and emotional balance.
- Digestive Issues – Herbal prescriptions and dietary guidance support digestion, ease constipation, and improve nutrient absorption.
- Oedema (Swelling) – TCM techniques encourage healthy circulation and fluid balance, helping to reduce swelling in the legs and feet.

How TCM Supports You Through Each Trimester of Pregnancy
Every stage of pregnancy brings unique physical and emotional changes. At Regis Wellness, our prenatal TCM care is carefully adapted to support mothers throughout all three trimesters.
First Trimester (Weeks 1–12): Early Pregnancy Support
Common Concerns: Morning sickness, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, mood swings, mild spotting, and anxiety. Many women also experience lower immunity during this stage, leaving them more prone to colds and digestive issues.
How TCM Helps:
- Acupuncture and gentle herbal support can reduce nausea and vomiting.
- TCM strengthens the Spleen and Stomach systems to improve digestion and energy levels.
- Treatments help stabilise Qi and Blood, supporting the uterine environment for foetal growth.
- Calming therapies regulate emotions, reducing stress and anxiety in early pregnancy.
Second Trimester (Weeks 13–27): Growth & Vitality
Common Concerns: Back pain, hip discomfort, digestive issues, constipation, leg cramps, insomnia, and emotional changes. Mothers often feel increased energy but also notice physical strain from the baby’s growth.
How TCM Helps:
- Targeted acupuncture help relieve musculoskeletal pain in the back, hips, and legs.
- Gentle herbal formulas and dietary advice improve digestion and nutrient absorption.
- Circulation-enhancing therapies reduce leg cramps and swelling.
- Calming treatments promote better sleep and emotional balance.
Third Trimester (Weeks 28–40): Preparation for Birth
Common Concerns: Pelvic pressure, lower back pain, oedema (swelling), fatigue, anxiety about labour, and difficulty sleeping. Some mothers may also experience breech presentation or sluggish labour preparation.
How TCM Helps:
- Acupuncture supports optimal foetal positioning and helps prepare the body for smoother labour.
- Circulation-focused treatments reduce swelling in the legs and feet.
- Pain-relieving and Qi-strengthening therapies help manage back and pelvic discomfort.
- Relaxing treatments calm the mind, reducing stress and anxiety before childbirth.
- TCM boosts energy reserves, supporting postnatal recovery after delivery.
The Benefits of Prenatal TCM Care
By choosing TCM care during pregnancy, expectant mothers may experience:
- Better management of pregnancy symptoms
- Improved physical comfort and mobility
- Enhanced immunity and energy levels
- Reduced stress and improved sleep quality
- Support for smoother labour preparation
- A stronger foundation for postnatal recovery
Pregnancy & Maternal Health in Singapore
In Singapore, many expectant mothers balance busy work schedules, urban lifestyles, and family responsibilities alongside pregnancy. This often leads to fatigue, stress, and poor sleep, which can impact overall well-being. Prenatal TCM care provides a safe, natural complement to conventional maternal care, supporting women in managing both the physical and emotional demands of pregnancy.
