Greater Comfort, Safer Births

Chiropractic care during pregnancy can be an essential ingredient for a comfortable pregnancy and an easier, safer delivery. As your baby develops, your uterus enlarges to accommodate the fast growth. When the pelvis is in a balanced posture, the ligaments connected to the uterus maintain an equalized and supportive suspension. When your pelvis is out of balance these ligaments may become stressed, causing a condition known as intrauterine constraint. Many women in the second and third trimester become aware of the sensation of a tightened Round Ligament. This constraint can restrict the baby's movement and positioning. As birth approaches the baby may be prevented from getting into the best possible position for birth. Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy may restore balance to your pelvic muscles and ligaments potentially leading to a safer and easier delivery for you and your baby.

Easy Childbirth

One of the highlights of my life is the day I naturally gave birth to my son in 1994. About 15 minutes after his birth, while holding him in my arms, I remember thinking..."I could do this again"...It was some work and I had some wonderful help... Overall it seemed rather easy.  Many days I ask myself... Was it the Chiropractic Care that I'd received throughout my pregnancy? Was it the relaxed concentration...Now termed Hypno-Birthing? Was it the good food throughout my pregnancy? I believe that it is all of those things...and more. After attending I.C.P.A., Jeanne Ohm's Perinatal Care and Webster Certification seminar it is more evident than ever. There is so much that Chiropractors can do to help a pregnant mother deliver a healthy, happy baby with ease.
