What's the #1 thing you can do while pregnant for the health of your baby?!?! 🤷‍♀️ Make sure your nervous system is regulated! 👏 The nervous system controls every cell, organ, and tissue in your body and in the growing baby's body too! It is also the foundation on which everything else builds when it comes to baby development. 🧠

The one thing we have seen at Somerset Family Chiropractic is that when Mom's nervous system is regulated, she almost always has better birth outcomes and baby is healthier too! We obviously can't control everything when it comes to birth, BUT we can control how our body reacts and adapts to stress when it comes.

The first step our doctors recommend when choosing to take care of your nervous system health is to see how it's functioning now! To do this, we first start with a Neurological INSiGHT Scan to see how your body is handling all that comes with pregnancy. Next, our doctors will come up with a personalized care plan tailored to exactly what your nervous system needs to best serve you and your baby! 👶

🚗 Gas pedal = stress and alert mode

🚗 Brake pedal = rest, growth, and healing mode

Pregnancy asks your body to spend more time on the brake pedal side so blood vessels can soften, your heart can adapt, and your baby can grow. When stress has been running the show for a long time, it can make those shifts harder for the body to access.

That’s why research shows ongoing maternal stress is strongly linked to a higher risk of pre-eclampsia. 📊

When the nervous system feels supported and safe, the body is often able to do what it was designed to do better during such a special time in life. 🥹 That best news? That's our specialty at Somerset Family Chiropractic. Moms deserve answers that feel empowering, not scary. 💗

We'd love to meet you and answer all of your pregnancy-related questions at our next Birth + Beyond workshop! Sign up for our free workshop on February 24th at the link below!! We're here for you, mama, to get the best start for your sweet new baby! 🫶

Prenatal stress activates the body's stress response, releasing stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. While these hormones are essential for short-term stress responses, chronic exposure can be harmful.

Releasing a tie changes structure, but feeding, breathing, and regulation are neurological and whole-body processes. Without support, some babies may struggle to fully integrate the change.

Care beyond the release itself matters. Here are the side effects of releasing ties without chiropractic adjustments:

1️⃣ Increased tension or guarding

After a release, some babies compensate by tightening other areas of the body — especially the neck, jaw, shoulders, or pelvis — making it harder to relax and feed comfortably.

2️⃣ Feeding challenges that persist

Even with a “successful” release, latch issues, clicking, reflux, or fatigue can continue if the nervous system hasn’t learned how to coordinate the new movement.

3️⃣ Heightened stress response

A release is a big sensory experience. Without nervous system support, some babies may show increased fussiness, startle responses, or difficulty settling and sleeping.

4️⃣ Oral aversion or resistance

Resistance to stretches, latching, or oral work isn’t behavioral — it’s often a protective nervous system response when the body feels overwhelmed.

5️⃣ Compensation instead of coordination

The tongue may have more range, but true feeding requires coordination between the tongue, jaw, neck, diaphragm, and breath — not just mobility.

6️⃣ Incomplete functional improvement

Sometimes anatomy looks improved, but parents still notice feeding stress, reflux, digestive and sleep struggles, or slow progress because function and regulation haven’t fully caught up.

The goal isn’t just release, it’s integration.
Supporting the nervous system helps the body adapt, coordinate, and heal more effectively.
