What a prick!

In my life before pregnancy, if I couldn't sleep I would pop a pill and had no problem admitting it. As you all know, I am a miserable gal if I don't get a TON of sleep. 8 to 10 hours is normal for me, and sometimes I can sleep for 12 hours straight. However, with my hormone levels being all over the chart, not to mention tender boobies, constant urination and mandatory snacking every two hours, I found myself with a sever case of insomnia. Apparently, it's completely normal for women in "my condition". After several weeks of functioning in a zombie like state, my doctor suggested acupuncture. I had my hopes set on a miracle pill, but was willing to try anything at this point! The thought of another 7 months of not sleeping was depressing enough. However, if I was going to have somone stick needles into my gestating body, it was going to be a board certified expert. After some intense internet research, I discovered The YinOva Center http://www.yinovacenter.com

Margaret Sikowitz was given the task of calming me down, putting me at ease and hopefully convincing my body to sleep MORE. We covered my eyes with a soothing mask before she proceeded to stick some needles in the top of my head, one into each wrist and finally one into each ankle. After twenty minutes Maraget returned, removed the needles and sent me home.

That night I slept for 4 hours, which was a HUGE improvement. And each night I have slept more and more. It's been four days since my treatment and I slept for 8 hours. "Hello, my name is Sarah Zeitler and I believe in acupuncture."

If you want to learn more about Margaret, you can check out her website www.sikowitz.com She is an incredible woman who certainly knows her stuff. I am a proud covert and would reccommend her to ANYONE!
