  Ep 201: The Essential Role of Chiropractic Care in Pregnancy

  Aug 6, 202627 min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Aligned Birth Podcast, hosts Dr. Shannon and doula Rachael delve into the Webster technique, a specialized chiropractic approach for prenatal care. They discuss common misconceptions about chiropractic care during pregnancy, emphasizing its importance beyond just addressing breech presentations. The conversation highlights the role of the pelvis and sacrum in fetal positioning, the gentle nature of chiropractic adjustments, and the significance of individualized care for pregnant women. They also explore the connection between nervous system function and overall health during pregnancy, advocating for a holistic approach to maternal care. The Webster technique is often misunderstood and is not just for breech babies. Prenatal chiropractic care is essential for overall maternal health. The pelvis and sacrum play a crucial role in fetal positioning. Gentle adjustments are key in chiropractic care for pregnant women. Finding a certified chiropractor is important for effective care. Chiropractic care should be individualized based on each mother's needs. The relationship between the mother and baby is dynamic and important. Nervous system function is critical for a healthy pregnancy. Holistic benefits of chiropractic care extend beyond physical adjustments. Regular chiropractic care can reveal underlying issues that may not be immediately apparent. Support the show Want to show your support?

  Ep 198: Pregnancy Myths Busted: What’s True and What’s Not - Part 1

  Jun 10, 202627 min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Aligned Birth Podcast, Dr. Shannon and Doula Rachael discuss various pregnancy myths, debunking common misconceptions about exercise, cravings, and dietary needs during pregnancy. They emphasize the importance of movement, clarify the truth behind cravings, and address the myth of 'eating for two.' The conversation also touches on travel during pregnancy and the impact of stress on maternal health, providing listeners with evidence-based insights and practical advice. Takeaways Exercise during pregnancy is beneficial and recommended. Cravings do not necessarily indicate the baby's needs. Eating for two is a myth; caloric needs are not doubled. Traveling during pregnancy can be safe with precautions. Stress does not inherently harm the baby; it's chronic stress that can be problematic. Movement can alleviate discomfort during pregnancy. Consult healthcare providers for personalized advice. Enjoying food is important, but balance is key. Hydration and stretching are crucial when traveling pregnant. Understanding your body can help manage cravings effectively Support the show Want to show your support?
