Who Said Labor Had To Be Labored?
Have you been told that labor and birth are the worst pain that you may ever experience?
What if I told you that it might not have to be that way?
Have you ever thought about adding chiropractic to your prenatal care? I think you should.
Utilizing chiropractic care during your pregnancy can often relieve and even prevent common discomforts experienced in pregnancy.
Your Baby Needs to Be Comfortable, Too!
See, your body is constantly adapting and changing due to the rapid growth of your baby.
Now, if you have pre-existing but unrecognized imbalances in your spine, this could lead to discomforts experienced during pregnancy simply by performing routine daily activities.
What you might not know is that as your baby grows your uterus simultaneously enlarges to make room for this rapid growth.
As a result of your pelvis being balanced, the ligaments of your uterus allows for it to maintain an equalized support suspension system. But when your pelvis is not in balance, it results in having these ligaments being torqued and twisted leading to intrauterine constraint.
This constraint restricts the availability for the baby to grow and develop optimally.
The cramped space results in the baby to lie in a compromised position leading potentially to torticollis.
As the due date approaches and the intrauterine constraint goes unattended, this may prevent the baby from attaining the best possible position for birth – head down.
The babies position can vary from having its head simply tilted to one side to a more extreme position of being posterior or breech.
By the baby not being in the proper head-down position, it can add time to your labor and additional unwanted pain and distress to you and baby.
I’m sure you’ve heard stories of women in labor having babies that were too big or that the labor had slowed down thus leading to at times avoidable interventions.
This begs the question about if the baby’s presentation interfered with the normal process and progression of labor?
