I started seeing a prenatal chiropractor around 32 weeks and it felt wonderful. I saw her 2 our 3 times a week, and I always felt a difference after every visit. Not only did she do adjustments, but we also talked about labor and delivery a lot and she gave me lots of tips and things for Hubs to do to help me manage my pain. I look forward to resuming my care with her soon (I'm 4 weeks pp, waiting to be cleared by my OB), and also plan to have her check out D to make sure he doesn't have any lingering issues from delivery.

@littlebug: DEFINITELY go in while you still have all that elastin in your system! It will help make sure everything goes back how it should.

@grizz: I saw a chiropractor after I fell almost into a full split at 5 months. It messed up my pelvic alignment and had PGP from it. It helped SOOO SOOO MUCH! I wished I would've gone back after delivery though.. I kept putting it off and now have to wait until I'm pregnant against to really it everything back aligned.

$70 a month is definitely worth it - I was spending $35 per visit, so $70-105 per week! I did think it helped with labor, because we were able to use some of the counter-pressure techniques she'd shown me during my treatment. Plus, just having so many conversations with her about how our bodies are built for this helped. I ended up getting an epidural, but only because I'd labored for 16 hours and didn't dilate over 1cm, and I was so exhausted I was worried if I didn't get rest I wouldn't have energy for delivery.

I started seeing a chiro at 28 wks this pregnancy and it seriously helped me. That horrible stiffness in my back is gone! Don't get me wrong, you'll still have PG aches they can't do anything about, but even now my back feels MUCH better than before.

I think where the wacko stuff comes in is when some start talking about how they can cure cancer or help your bipolarness...my chiro says it's those crazies that give the rest of them a bad name.

@hergreenapples, my sacrum is one of the first things I saw my chiro for! It took probably 2 months, maybe 3 months of care (but only going twice a month) but...it was amazing the day i was just suddenly pain free

@hergreenapples, my chiro said that mine was hurting due to my pelvis rotating....which isn't surprising then that it took so long to work back into place. Yours .could be because your baby flipped, too! I hope a few adjustments does the trick for you!

I started going last year after my car accident. It's amazing the difference I felt, and still do!

Dang that family plan sounds awesome

How many visits a month do you get with the family plan? Even if you only get one visit per month per person, that is an AMAZING deal for $100! I'm going to ask our chiro if there's any way we can work out some kind of deal like that! It's $45 a visit and that means we only go when we really, really need to (I'm not pregnant right now, I'll cough up the money to go then). I am a huge, huge fan of chiropractic care during pregnancy. Not only does it help mom feel better, but it's so helpful for getting baby in an optimal position for an easier delivery. My DD was breach (breech? Dammit, I always forget how to spell it) at 32 weeks and while that's not really something to be alarmed at since there's still plenty of time to flip, I wanted to be proactive and not worry about fighting for a vaginal breech delivery or for the right to go into labor on my own before a c-section for breech, so I went to our chiropractor for the Webster and a general adjustment and after my second visit at 34 weeks, literally in the car on the way home, DD started these huge movements and I knew she was going head down. Sure enough, a day or two later, my doctor confirmed it. And then I kept going for adjustments every week or so until delivery. I still had a long labor (25 hours with DD- but I'd gone 26 hours with DS), but only 2 hours of really intense labor and less than a minute of pushing and I like to think my chiropractic care had a hand in that.

I love going to the chiro!! I went pre-preggo, and am currently going during my pregnancy. It makes such a huge difference when everything is properly aligned. You can actually feel the difference.

Lucky! That's such a great deal!

I did last year when my deductible was met for the year. I won't be going back it made my back feel worse. A massage everyonce in a while works wonders.

I worked for a chiropractor all through my first pregnancy so I had regular appointments. I LOVED it! Actually sometimes on breaks I would just lay on the table (since you can lay on your stomach) and that alone was worth it! HAHA

I see mine about every other week because my joints are too flexible causing me really awful hip pain. I saw him before I got pregnant with N, while I was pregnant with N, and I continue to see him. The visit is $35 a visit but I really don't mind.
