When we birth, we don’t just birth babies.

We birth ourselves, we birth our families and we reshape our lives.

It’s so important to get good information on which to base pregnancy and birth decisions.

Because they can affect us for a very long time.

Perhaps the rest of your life.

It's also important to understand that it doesn't matter what the guideline says, or what anyone else thinks.

What matters is what's right for you.

If you'd like to read more from someone who has a PhD, more than twenty five years of experience as a midwife and a holistic, heart-centred approach to birth .... oh, and who doesn't think it's her job to make your decisions, there's loads of free information on my website, www.sarawickham.com

You can also read lots more about birth-related decision making in my book: What's Right For Me? Making decisions in pregnancy and childbirth.

Chiropractic Care for Infants

👉 As an chiropractor, I work with little ones often - symptoms ranging from infant colic and torticollis to developmental hiccups and feeding struggles. It wasn't until after having a child of my own did I learn just how much nervous system health affects little ones. Growth for an infant happens DAILY. This means the body is constantly trying to catch up with the brain learning new stimuli, new sensations, new motor skills, facial and spatial recognition, and more!

👉 Chiropractic Care helps stimulate the nervous system into a relaxed state, allowing the " tone" of the nervous system to regulate other body systems. This may result in:

🐥improved digestion, including reflux and colic

🐥Productive sleep patterns

🐥Improved temperament

🐥Stronger latch

🐥Meeting developmental milestones

Chiropractic care for babies is gentle, safe, and effective.

What is Symphysis P***s Dysfunction or "SPD" in pregnancy?

⚡Sharp pains or twinges of pain in the lower part of your pelvis, aka "lightning crotch"

⚡The p***c symphysis is a stabilizing joint that forms the midline and front of your pelvis. During pregnancy, hormones cause laxity in your joints, including this one

⚡Pregnancy can trigger instability in this joint due to weight shifts, increasing size of baby, and a surge of hormones causing laxity in movement patterns involving the pelvis

🙌 Chiropractic Care during pregnancy can help with this condition by using specific adjustments and tension-release methods to take pressure off this joint and restore equal weight balance in your pelvis

Chiropractic and Pregnancy

✨ The Webster technique is a chiropractic adjustment that helps align the pelvis, release tension in muscles supporting the pelvis, and optimizes reproductive function and positioning.

✨ Throughout pregnancy your joints are constantly shifting. Hormones released during pregnancy can cause increased flexibility. In addition, the growth of your baby changes your posture and how you are supporting the space of a new life!

✨ The Webster technique offers a gentle, effective way to work with these changes. During your appointment, the doctor may use massage, stretching, and gentle adjustments to help balance your pelvis.

Results include:

🤰 Decreased back, hip, and pelvic pain. This is due to a positive balance shift in how you are carrying weight.

🤰Optimal fetal positioning. This is due to increased, equally- balanced space in the pelvic bowl.

🤰 Decreased labor times. This is due to an increase in blood flow and improved nerve communication, allowing for productive uterine contractions.
