By preparing your body for childbirth, you will experience improved sleep and comfort levels, more energy throughout your pregnancy, and a safer and smoother delivery for both you and your baby. Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments During Pregnancy More and more mothers are discovering the many benefits associated with chiropractic care throughout pregnancy. Gentle adjustments remove the buildup of stress on the nervous system and allow the body to not only feel better, but also perform better. By addressing the added stress on your spine, chiropractic care eases back pain and restores balance to your pelvic muscles and ligaments leading to a safer and easier delivery for you and your baby. Importance of Nutrition During Pregnancy As a couple, you are starting to think about having a baby. In creating a new life, proper nutrition and the health of both parents begins well before conception and continues on after the birth of your child. Pregnancy-related nutrition can be divided into five stages:Preconception, the First Trimester, the Second Trimester, the Third Trimester and Postpartum. Understanding these five nutritional stages and addressing any nutritional deficiencies can better prepare you for a smoother, less stressful birth and a healthier child! We are trained specifically in pregnancy-related nutrition. We will provide the tools and information you need to support your overall health through these five stages of pregnancy. At each stage we will address both you and your partner's specific needs as they relate to your and your baby's optimal health. Exercise and Pregnancy Delivering a child places a high physical demand on your body. In an effort to make your entire pregnancy as comfortable as possible, light stretching and corrective exercise may be recommended. Light stretching helps to reduce muscle spasm and promote flexibility. Additionally, pregnancy-specific exercises will help to strengthen your low back and pelvis, making an easier transition to pre-baby figure due to improved physical fitness.
