Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy Results in Greater Comfort and Safer Births
Can chiropractic care during pregnancy increase my level of comfort? Chiropractic care during pregnancy is an important ingredient in your pre-natal care choices.
Most pregnant women experience back discomfort and/or pain during their pregnancy.
This is normally due to the rapid growth of the baby and the resulting interference to your body's normal structural adaptations during that growth.
Due to the physical stress of carrying the child prior to birth, pre-existing and unnoticed imbalances in your spine and pelvis may become overtaxed.
These added stresses can lead to discomfort and difficulty while performing routine, daily activities.
On-going chiropractic care throughout pregnancy may relieve and can even prevent the common discomforts experienced during pregnancy.
Specific adjustments eliminate these stresses to your spine, restore balance to your pelvis and result in greater comfort and improvement to your lifestyle.
Can chiropractic care add to the level of comfort for my baby? Your uterus enlarges to accommodate the rapid growth of your baby as your baby develops.
As long as your pelvis is in a balanced state, the ligaments connected to your uterus maintain an equalized and supportive suspension for your uterus.
If your pelvis is out of balance these ligaments can become torqued and even twisted.
This causes a uterine condition known as constraint.
Constraint limits the space available for the developing baby.
Any compromised positioning for the baby throughout the pregnancy will affect the baby's optimal development.
Conditions like torticollis can occur because a baby's space was cramped in utero.
If your uterus is constrained when birth approaches it can prevent the baby from getting into the best possible position for the actual birth.
Even in the baby is in the desirable head down position; constraint to the uterus often won't allow the baby's head to move into the ideal delivery presentation.
The baby's head may be slightly tilted off to one side or even present itself in the posterior position.
This causes even more trauma.
Any baby position even slightly off while giving birth will slow down delivery, adding pain to both the mother and baby.
Many women have been told that their babies were too big, or that labor "just slowed down" when it was really the baby's presentation during birth that was interfering with the normal birthing process and its progression.
Avoidable interventions are many times implemented.
This results in turning a natural birthing process into an operative birthing process.
Your Doctor of Chiropractic will work specifically with your pelvis throughout your pregnancy, resulting in a restored a state of balance and creating an environment for an easier, safer delivery.
Can chiropractic care during pregnancy prepare me for a safer birth? Difficult labor is defined as Dystocia.
This condition is one that every woman wants to avoid.
Dystocia results in additional pain and exhaustion from a long, difficult labor and can even lead to multiple medical interventions.
These medical interventions can be physically and emotionally traumatic to both you and your baby.
These medical interventions may include the administering of pitocin, the use of epidurals, painful episiotomies, forceful pulling on the baby and their fragile spine, vacuum extraction, forceps and even c-sections.
All of these procedures carry a high risk of injury to you and/or your baby! All of these procedures, which are used to speed the delivery process, can be avoided if the delivery goes more smoothly to begin with.
Obstetric texts report the reason for dystocia as being caused by pelvic imbalance and its resultant effects on your uterus and your baby's pre-birth positioning.
This can be minimized, or even avoided, using proper chiropractic techniques throughout your pregnancy.
Chiropractic care throughout your pregnancy restores the balance to your pelvic muscles and ligaments and thus leads to safer and easier deliveries for you and your baby.
Also, chiropractic adjustment removes interference to the nervous system.
This allows your uterus to function at its maximum potential.
Published studies have shown that chiropractic care does in fact reduce labor time.
