🤰🏼 Pregnancy and Chiropractic 🤰🏻

For many pregnant women, aches and pains in the lower back and hips are part of the experience. In fact, approximately 50 percent of pregnant women will experience back pain at some point before they deliver.

✔️More Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

There are a myriad of benefits a mother can experience by selecting a chiropractor to join her prenatal care team.

The potential benefits of care as:

* Maintaining a healthier pregnancy
* Controlling symptoms of nausea
* Reducing the time of labor and delivery
* Relieving back, neck or joint

Chiropractic treatment offers a non-pharmaceutical and safe form of pain relief. 💪🏻

Did you know that if a birthing person has continuous labour support (that is, someone who never leaves their side), both the birthing person and their baby is statistically more likely to have better outcomes:

- A shorter labour
- A decrease in negative feelings about birth
- Increased spontaneous vaginal births (goes into labour without the use of drugs or techniques to induce labour)
- A decrease in the use of any pain medication
- A decrease in the use of vacuum or forceps-assisted births
- And babies were less likely to have lower Apgar scores at birth

"I do not care what kind of birth you have...I care that you had options, that you were supported in your choices, and that you were respected." - January Hirsche.

This is part one of an excellent breastfeeding resource to help you prepare before birth. If you plan to breastfeed this video gives you a great overview of what to expect and common challenges.

If you plan to give birth in Cambodia it’s important to know that breastfeeding support is virtually non-existent in the hospitals so as part of your preparation during the antenatal period I strongly recommend learning some of the basics.

After a busy few weeks working away on contracts and proposals in my other role I've finally got some time to start sharing resources on this page.

I hope these will be useful for people staying in Cambodia to give birth during this time of uncertainty.
