Due to discomfort, my midwife suggested I see a chiropractor to get adjusted. She said it will loosen me up and make me feel better but I wonder if that could mean potentially going into labour earlier than 40 weeks.
Thoughts?
-
I wish! I went regularly at the end, but no early labor for me.
-
Shit, I wish! I was going to get acupuncture, though....but they induced me that day instead.

@Rubies: I can't say from my experience but my best friend saw a chiropractor regularly (he helped turn her breech baby) during her pregnancy and she delivered at 42 weeks, 1 day, induced.
My coworker also saw a chiropractor for pain during pregnancy and gave birth 40 weeks, 3 days, went into labor on her own. -
I saw a chiropractor throughout my pregnancy for back pain and I didn't go into labor on my own even at 41 weeks.
-
I see a chiropractor weekly for adjustments and no labor yet... 34 weeks.
-
i saw a chiropractor regularly through pregnancy and went into labor on my own at 39+4. i had a great labor and delivery and definitely recommend it!
-
Nope! I went throughout my pregnancy and i was a week late!!

I have seen my chiropractor since before I conceived and it helps soooo much with my back pain and general discomfort. My chiropractor says it will help with a smoother labor because everything will be aligned to help baby's path out, but it won't induce labor. I'm only 21 weeks, but I highly recommend it!
-
Nope! I went nearly every week and it was so helpful.
-
No, I don't think so. I think, if baby is ready to come and you're outta whack, that an adjustment to get you all aligned can get things going, but not before it's time.
-
I'm 36 weeks and have been seeing the chiropractor twice weekly since 28 weeks. Actually, I just graduated to once a week this week! I completely credit the adjustments for keeping me comfortable and happy these past few weeks. She also has me doing strengthening exercises to help my back/hips hold the adjustments.

I wish I had gone! My vag bone hurt so freaking bad.
