Y'all. My midwives have been recommending seeing a chiropractor for a while, and I finally listened to them. I saw a chiropractor who specializes in prenatal care. It was awesome, and I'm going to see her once a week until this baby comes. Chiropractic work can shorten your labor significantly and results in better outcomes in general. It also helps with SO MANY of the aches and pains we call "normal" in pregnancy. Just because other people experience it doesn't mean that it's acceptable or that you necessarily need to put up with it. Invest in yourself, your comfort, and your baby and find a good prenatal chiropractor!
