The problem isn’t that your body “can’t handle pregnancy.”

It’s that something isn’t adapting the way it should.

Back pain.
Hip pain.
Pelvic pressure.

Common? Yes.
Normal? No.

And when your body is already struggling during pregnancy…
it’s a sign it may struggle even more during labor.

That’s when births get longer, harder, and more complicated than they need to be.

Not because your body is broken—
but because it wasn’t prepared.

This is the part most women are never told.

If you’re pregnant and want to prepare your body for birth the right way—
don’t wait until the end.

Right now, I’m offering $300 toward your initial discovery session
for mamas who book before April 15th.

You were told your baby was too big for your pelvis…
and that’s why you needed a C-section.

And now you’re wondering if your body can actually do it this time.

Here’s what most women aren’t told—
in most cases, it’s not about size.
It’s about how your body was functioning during labor.

If your body isn’t prepared to open, adapt, and coordinate,
labor stalls… and interventions follow.

Not because your body failed—
but because it wasn’t prepared.

If you’re planning a VBAC or just want a better birth experience this time,
you can prepare your body differently.

Most women don’t go into labor unprepared because they’re careless.
They go in unprepared because no one ever showed them what preparation actually looks like.

Being active isn’t the same as being prepared.
Stretching isn’t the same as having a body that can open, adapt, and coordinate under pressure.

And when your body can’t do that efficiently…
labor gets longer, harder, and more complicated than it needs to be.

Not because your body is broken—
but because it was never set up for what it’s being asked to do.

This is the part most women miss.

If you want a smoother, more supported birth experience,
you have to prepare your body differently.

This isn’t just chiropractic care—
it’s boutique, personalized support for the way your body was designed to function, adapt, and flourish.

I’ve got quite a few new followers, so figured it was time for a proper reintroduction 🤍

Hi — I’m Dr. Alex.
Most people around here call me Dr. Mama Bird.

I’m originally from Nebraska…
never really planned on calling Dallas home —
but here we are.

I’m a chiropractor, a mom of three,
and I care deeply about how women are supported through pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood.

A few things about me, if you’re new here:

• Christ is King. That’s not separate from my work — it’s the foundation of it.
• I believe the body was designed well, and I expect to see it do incredible things when given the right support.
• I’m not in a rush(at least not in the office😅 ). Your care won’t be either.
• Loving, present service is my first technique.
• I tend to be a little all or nothing… which means when I’m with you, I’m all in — doing the best work I can do.
• And yes… I’ll probably pray over you at some point 🤍

In practice, that looks like supporting:

• pregnancy + birth prep
• postpartum recovery (for both mom and baby)
• feeding challenges + regulation
• tongue tie cases (pre + post frenectomy care)

I care a lot about this season —
because it’s not small.
It shapes everything that comes after.

So I treat it that way.

We’ve recently opened a space in Richardson (CityLine)
and I’m currently accepting new patients.

If you’ve been here for a while, I’m so glad you’re here.
If you’re new — welcome 🤍

Last night I had the privilege of teaching at the Parker ICPA Club about C-section recovery, and I left feeling incredibly hopeful about the future of our profession.

On a Thursday night, these future doctors chose to spend a few extra hours learning about something that most programs barely touch on — how to actually help moms recover after a C-section.

They were engaged, curious, and asking thoughtful questions the entire time.

And that matters… because the truth is, C-section recovery is something our healthcare system still struggles to address well.

Not for mom.
And not for baby.

A surgical birth isn’t just a moment in time. It’s a major abdominal surgery that affects posture, breathing patterns, core function, and even long-term injury patterns.

Over the years I’ve seen connections between unresolved C-section recovery and chronic tension patterns, and movement compensation that show up years later.

But this topic is also deeply personal for me.

In 2018, just minutes away from where I was teaching last night, I had an unplanned C-section with my son.

And when I started looking for help recovering… I had to dig for resources and support.

That experience set me on the clinical path I’m on today.

It pushed me to study recovery, movement, and nervous system patterns so moms don’t have to feel like they’re left to figure it out alone after surgery.

Seeing these students eager to learn how to support both mom and baby after birth reminded me just how bright the future can be when doctors are willing to keep learning.

Huge thank you to the Parker ICPA Club for the invitation and the thoughtful conversation.

The next generation of docs is paying attention — and that gives me a lot of hope

If your baby always looks to one side… or you’re starting to notice a flat spot forming…

you’re not imagining it.

Many parents first notice things like:

• baby always turning their head the same direction
• difficulty looking the other way
• feeding better on one side
• reflux, irritability, or whole-body tension
• a flat spot beginning to develop

Often these signs are connected.

The upper neck plays an important role in the nervous system, and tension or restricted movement in this area can influence how babies move, feed, and regulate their bodies.

That’s why parents often notice patterns, not just one isolated symptom.

And just as important:

This is not your fault.

Many babies develop these patterns because of things parents can’t control, like:

• positioning in the womb
• the birth process
• C-section or assisted delivery
• babies naturally favoring one side early on

The good news?

Baby bodies are incredibly adaptable, especially when these patterns are addressed early.

If you’re noticing these signs in your baby, getting an evaluation from a provider trained in infant development and pediatric chiropractic care can make a big difference.

If you’re local, you can book with me.

Otherwise, consider finding a pediatric chiropractor near you who specializes in infants.

And if this post helped you understand what might be going on:

✔ Save it so you remember the signs
✔ Share it with a parent who may need to see this

Something unexpected is happening right now:

Physicians are tired of being told what to think instead of being trusted to evaluate the evidence themselves.

And once they start digging… a lot of old assumptions don’t hold up.

02/27/2026

Something interesting is happening in healthcare right now…
and almost nobody is talking about it publicly yet.

The conversations happening behind the scenes between physicians and “alternative” providers are very different than they were even a few years ago.

Mom — you’re not crazy.
If your baby feels harder than everyone said it would be, you’re not imagining it.

You’ll hear things like:

“Some babies are just fussy.”
“That’s just how they are.”
“You were like that as a baby too.”
“It’s ‘just’ colic”

And there is some truth there.

Babies are babies.
There’s no such thing as a perfect baby — or a “good” baby.
All babies are good.

They cry.
They struggle.
They’re learning how to exist in a brand-new world.

But sometimes, in trying to normalize motherhood, we normalize things that are common — not normal.

Because there can be invisible layers of tension or nervous system stress that make everything feel harder than it has to be.

There’s a point where it’s more than “just a baby being a baby.”

When your baby is:
• constantly fussy
• hard to settle
• going from zero to one hundred instantly

Sometimes it even shows up as what looks like strength.

I remember my son holding his head up just days after birth.
Arching constantly.
Rolling early.

Everyone said, “He’s so strong.”

But what I later learned is this:

Early strength isn’t always strength.
Sometimes it’s tension.

That the thing that made him “strong” was the same thing that causing him constant discomfort and suffering, resulting in constant fussiness.

When milestones happen from rigidity instead of coordination, it’s often a nervous system that hasn’t fully settled yet.

That doesn’t mean something is wrong with your baby.
And it definitely doesn’t mean you did anything wrong.

It simply means their body may need a little extra support as it adapts to the world.

My heart in sharing this is not to create fear —
but to offer clarity, compassion, and hope.

Because when we understand what’s happening beneath the surface, there are gentle ways to help.

You’re not behind.
You’re not missing your window.
And you don’t have to figure this out alone 🤍

If this resonates, I’m always happy to talk — even if it’s just to help you understand what you’re seeing.

This is my son.

I don’t usually share photos of my children — and I’ve never shared his newborn photo publicly before. For a long time, it was a painful reminder of one of the scariest seasons of my life.

He was a surprise breech and born via an unexpected C-section under full anesthesia. I wasn’t there when he was born. He was taken straight to the NICU, and for years I quietly carried guilt — feeling like my body failed him… like I failed him.

It took me a long time to realize the truth:

The Lord was with him every second — even when I couldn’t be.

When he came into the world, his body was tense and uncomfortable.
He cried for hours.
Couldn’t fully turn his head.
His legs were rigid.
Breastfeeding was painful and exhausting.
Nothing felt peaceful.

We were incredibly blessed to have chiropractic and cranial care available to us — and slowly, his body began to release the tension he carried from pregnancy and birth.

That season changed everything for me.

Because now, when I see babies who are:

• stiff or arching
• unable to settle
• struggling with feeding or latch
• stuck turning one direction
• developing flat or uneven head shape
• constantly uncomfortable

…I don’t see “fussy babies.”

I see nervous systems that entered the world under stress.

Mama — if this sounds like your baby, please hear me:

You are not imagining it.
You did not fail.
