Some of the conditions acupuncture has been shown to help during pregnancy and postpartum:
MORNING SICKNESS
FATIGUE

Very thin, sterile needles are inserted into specific points to redirect, build and disperse blocked qi (vital energy). When qi is sufficient and flowing smoothly all body systems can function optimally. The body is constantly changing during pregnancy. Acupuncture can help to ease the process for mother and baby.

Prenatal Chiropractic
During pregnancy, a woman's center of gravity almost immediately begins to shift forward to the front of her pelvis. Although a woman's sacrum-or posterior section of the pelvis-has enough depth to enable her to carry a baby, the displaced weight still increases the stress on her joints. As the baby grows in size, the woman's weight is projected even farther forward, and the curvature of her lower back is increased, placing extra stress on the spinal disks. In compensation, the normal curvature of the upper spine increases, as well.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy not only can help you to stay more comfortable, but can also help to facilitate your birth. Chiropractic care during pregnancy has been shown to significantly reduce the length of time a woman labors. First time moms averaged a 24% shorter labor, while mothers who have already given birth experienced a 39% reduction in the average labor length, compared to controls. Chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy can also reduce the likelihood of experiencing back labor. Regular chiropractic adjustments can safely continue up until the time of birth.
Prenatal Chiropractic Care Can:
* Reduce symptoms associated with pregnancy: low back pain, sciatic pain, headaches, heartburn and constipation, hormonal and emotional changes, breech presentation
* Correct vertebral misalignment and relieve pressure with gentle and effective adjustments
* Help ensure that pelvic bones are properly aligned, facilitating a quicker, easier delivery
* Re-establish the natural position and mobility of the joints
* Provide freedom from interference of normal nerve energy which is vital for the development of a healthy baby and mother
Chiropractic manipulation is safe for the pregnant woman and her baby and can be especially attractive to those who are trying to avoid medications in treating their pain.

Doula is a Greek word meaning "woman helping woman." A doula who takes care of a woman in labor is a "mother to the mother", helping her emotionally throughout childbirth. Giving birth to a baby is so much more than just a physical process; it engages the couple in a transformational experience. It is a key life event that is full of meaning and emotion. A doula also provides support and suggestions for couples that can enhance their experience of the birth.
