Chiropractor??..

Question

So I ended up having to see a chiropractor yesterday cause I have a muscle spasm and was in A LOT of pain and he offered to keep seeing me till I deliver and said that it can help a lot with childbirth:) but my sister said it could cause preterm delivery I was just wondering how many of you women saw a chiropractor through out your whole pregnancy and delivered full term or almost full term😊

Answer

I am a Chiropractor (and pregnant) and I treat pregos all the time. They are my favorite patients! Chiropractic  is very safe and gentle for pregnant woman. It keeps your pelvis aligned the way it should be for an easier birth process, it helps keep your round ligament and psoas lax for optimal positioning of the baby, and it will help relieve any back pain, sciatica, etc related to your pregnancy. It will not cause pre-term labor. If someone goes into pre-term labor it's bc that's what was in store for them anyways. I've adjusted many many women who delivered right on their due date, or even after 😊. Don't worry. Go see one!

Answer

I'm not against seeing a chiro while pregnant. I saw mine for the first time the other week cause I was having horrible pain. I'm 30w3d now. But a lot of chiropractors tell you to continuously come back every so many days, pregnant or not, for the money. Not saying this is the case, but I would just go back when needed. Not make consistent returning appointments every 3-5 days or whatever. I've never heard of it making childbirth easier, or making you go into preterm labor. So that I don't know about.

Answer

I loved seeing the chiropractor with my first pregnancy, it really helps with a lot of the aches and pains. They are all trained to work on pregnant women so I never had any concerns.

Answer

My friend went to a chiropractor her entire pregnancy and swears up and down that it helped her with labor. Her first labor was horrific, and extremely long and so many complications. The day she went to be induced she went to have an adjustment and swears that the chiropractor helped her.

Answer

I have been seeing my chiropractor my whole pregnancy, I don't know where I would be without her. I'm due November 20 and I am 38 weeks today and I'm not on labor yet. If you have a good chiropractor they will know what to do and what not to do and it's helps with the back pain!
