Did you know your body experiences one of the most dramatic hormonal shifts possible within 24 hours after birth? It's literally like falling off a hormonal cliff! 😳 And yet, most postpartum care consists of just a single 6-week checkup that barely scratches the surface of what your body is experiencing.
While everyone focuses on your baby (as they should!), who's focusing on YOU, mama? 🤱 The reality is that the postpartum period should be cared for as a year-long OR MORE recovery, not a brief afterthought to pregnancy.
Something else not enough people talk about is how your nervous system directly influences your baby through co-regulation. When your nervous system is balanced, your baby benefits too! When you're stuck in "fight or flight" mode, both of you struggle. 👶
There are so many amazing reasons and benefits to continue your chiropractic journey after baby arrives for both you and baby!!
🤰 Restoring proper pelvic function after the physical demands of pregnancy and birth
🤰 Reducing neurotension in the upper cervical spine to improve vagus nerve function and parasympathetic tone
🤰 Enhancing nervous system communication to support hormone balance and regulation
🤰 Improving sleep quality and duration through better autonomic balance
🤰 Supporting proper muscle engagement for core recovery and reduced back pain
🤰 Promoting optimal breast tissue drainage and nerve supply for breastfeeding
🤰 Support co-regulation
Birth itself exerts extraordinary pressure on both your body and your baby's, which is why we love taking care of moms during such a special time! It also happens to be one of the most important times for you to take care of yourself, too! You deserve this, Momma. Let's keep taking care of you after the baby arrives!
