These are one of my favorite posts to make!

In the past few weeks, I had a patient referred by her OB for a breech presenting baby and a tight time frame towards intervention. With no major complaints of pain pointing to a specific issue, I decided to fit everything we could into our full hour of the first appointment with adjusting, Webster, Spinning Babies, and home care education.
It’s so amazing to tell you, that baby turned head down within 48 hrs of her first appointment! All I did was give mom balance in her body which created more room for baby’s movements.

So amazing to work in this space!

Have you ever heard this quote? Often used by farmers, but it applies to the body well. If you have have poor soil, you have poor growth of your plants because it lacks the nutrients to supply and sustain life to grow optimal fruits.

The body is the same! If your body is lacking nutrients, it may be difficult to conceive or even trigger less optimal genetics. So how can we tend to our soil before considering pregnancy?

Nutrition, physical exercise, sleep, mental health are all pieces of the puzzle to health. They all act to improve our soil and they all influence each other. And no, this is not just a consideration for the birthing parent, it’s a consideration for everyone contributing genetic material to your pregnancy.

The best way to tackle this is to start about 1 year prior to the time you’d want to conceive. Your body requires this amount of time to replenish and nourish nutrients, begin working on mental health, optimize your physical body, and decrease inflammation.

Action steps:
1- Get a medical physical and pay attention to your bloodwork. This like vitamin D should not be bare minimum; they should be at least middle of the road (for vitamin D, think levels of 50-60 not 20).
2- Start prenatal vitamins, and men start a good multivitamin - check my profile links. Folic acid, vitamin D, omega 3 fatty acids and iron are some big ones to focus on.
3- Consider checking in with a mental health therapist. The transition to parenting is a huge life event. Is there anything from your childhood you’d like to process or things you don’t want to repeat? Do you have a history or trauma? Things buried inside you are not unseen to your body.
4- Exercise! Even just walking 30 minutes 5x per week is a great start.
5- Get adjusted regularly! Every 2-4 weeks depending on your lifestyle/job is sufficient for wellness. We want you to be able to move well, exercise without injury, and have optimal nervous system function. We call this pre-conception care.

Welcome to the world, our little Valentine Brown Kukenberger!

What a birth story I can share! After 1.5 weeks of evenings filled with regular contractions lasting 1-2 hours and stopping at bed time, Valentine decided to make his world entrance in just 2.5 hours after I awoke in active labor.

I had a home birth planned, and over the course a few weeks each person including myself had some type of premonition that no one would make it to my birth because it would happen so quickly. And you know, that is just what happened! My spouse caught our son and helped deliver his placenta! What an amazing human I have! Another feeling I had for days before his birth was just not being able to stop thinking about en caul births… that came true as well as his bag of waters did not rupture until halfway through his birth. Our midwife coached my spouse through the birth by phone and arrived just moments later. We were all well cared for, and my spouse has a new badge of honor having caught Mavi intentionally with direct supervision, and Valentine unintentionally with phone coaching. 🥲

Everyone here is doing well. Mama is feeling good and healing well. Mavi is adjusting to being a big brother phenomenally and has excitedly and willing taken on the responsibility of diaper station assistant, dirty diaper trashman and baby kisser. Baby Valentine passed his birth weight in just 4 days, loves to sleep, eat and snuggle. And Chris (my spouse) is proudly wearing their new badge of honor, and taking care of our new family of 4.

I can’t thank our birth team enough:

Last month, all of our providers met at Crouse to attended a Spinning Babies® Workshop!

A refresher course for Dr. Kristin and a new method in balancing the pregnancy body for Drs. Brooke and Claire, we are all ready to offer Extra Care appointments to those in need of this proven method of helping reduce aches and pains, maintaining balance in the body’s pelvic region to support birth, and that allows for extra space for baby to get into their “optimal” birth position.
