If Pregnancy were a book...

they would cut the last two chapters.

My wife would agree with that statement 100%. We just welcomed our second child into the world last week! We are so happy to have him in our arms, especially my wife. Those last two chapters were not comfortable. Low back pain, rib pain, and varicose veins make it difficult to be comfortable any time. It has been reported that approximately 50% of all pregnant women experience back pain during their pregnancy and 50% to 75% of women experience back pain during labor.

Fortunately for my wife she had 24 hour (nearly) access to a chiropractor. The only relief she found from rib pain was an adjustment. The results of a chiropractic and medical study indicated that 75% of pregnant patients who received chiropractic care during their pregnancies stated that they found relief from pain.

While the back pain and rib pain didn't resolve while she was pregnant, there are many more benefits to being adjusted while pregnant.
How about a 25% faster delivery? I don't personally know any woman who prefers to have a long delivery, but she might exist. How about turning of a breech presentation baby and avoiding a C section? 92% of the breech cases reported a resolution of the position! With what side effects? Feeling great and awesome, but that's about it.

One of the best things you can do for your arriving baby is to get adjusted! Here is another great resource for pregnant women including nutrition, ergonomics, safety, etc.

Everyone pregnant woman you know needs to be checked by a chiropractor!
