“Is it safe for me to be adjusted during my pregnancy?”
Absolutely, YES! This is a question I get asked frequently. The most important time for a baby to be adjusted is in-utero. You will give your child the best start possible. As every Chiropractic Adjustment releases the interference between the brain and body for you, it does the same for your unborn baby. Of course, it makes sure your alignment is balanced and ready for preparing for your natural birth.
Think of your pelvis as the hot air basket and your uterus the balloon.
As soon as your pelvis moves and shifts, the uterus does the same. When mamas mention that baby got ‘stuck’ or that baby’s head was too big, it is a misalignment of the pelvis that is the likely culprit (of course, there are a few medical exceptions to this rule). Due to the physical changes to your body, it is imperative to work with a Chiropractor who is trained and comfortable with pregnant mommas. This is why so many women say that Chiropractic was the reason for a safe and natural delivery (did you know that it is reported that women under regular chiropractic care may experience a 50% shorter labor?). Reports also show that the need for intervention during labor greatly decreases when under regular chiropractic care.
