Common Discomfort During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is an exciting time in your life, but it also brings many physical changes that can contribute to increased discomfort. One of the most common complaints our pregnancy chiropractors hear about is lower back pain due to increased weight and sift in your body’s center of gravity. 

As you approach your due date, you may also experience pelvic pain as your ligaments loosen in preparation for childbirth. This pain, coupled with your back pain, may result in sciatica, characterized by sharp pain that radiates from the lower back down the legs, which can limit your mobility.

As the uterus expands, it can put pressure on the digestive system, leading to bloating, heartburn, and constipation. Swelling in the feet and ankles is also common due to increased fluid retention and circulation changes. Additionally, some women suffer from round ligament pain, a sharp discomfort in the lower belly or groin. 

These aches and pains can make everyday tasks more challenging, but many discomforts can be alleviated with proper care and support. If you’re dealing with increasing discomfort as you advance through your pregnancy, turn to our team of reliable chiropractors at Elevate Wellness Chiropractic for support.

When to Schedule Chiropractic Care

Pregnant women can begin chiropractic care at any stage of pregnancy, but many choose to start in the first trimester to help their bodies adapt to early changes. Regular visits throughout pregnancy can promote spinal alignment and help manage discomfort as the baby grows, which can prepare you for upcoming bodily changes. 

As you progress into the second trimester, you may notice weight increases and posture shifts. Chiropractic adjustments can help reduce the strain on your back and pelvis that accompany these bodily changes. Many women find that consistent care during this stage prevents more severe pain in the later months.

The third trimester is often when women experience the most discomfort due to the baby’s size and position. You may notice sharp pain around your hips as they begin to widen and prepare for birth. Chiropractic care during this stage can help alleviate pressure on the pelvis and lower back while encouraging optimal fetal positioning for delivery.

No matter what stage you’re at in your pregnancy, you can trust that our pregnancy chiropractors are here and ready to help. We can support you through your discomfort and ensure your body is prepared for your upcoming birth.
