A warm, supportive guide for our expecting moms in the third trimester. We are honored to walk this journey alongside you.
Congratulations, Mama. We are so honored to be part of your prenatal care. Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative time, and it also places real physical demands on your body. At Van Every Family Chiropractic Center, we support expectant mothers in staying comfortable, well, and balanced through every stage.
This guide is your companion through pregnancy, with gentle, plain-language information for each trimester and beyond. Our goal is simple: to help you enjoy a healthy pregnancy, feel cared for, and know you have a direct line to your team whenever a question comes up.
As your body changes, regular chiropractic care helps you adapt more gracefully. Relaxin hormone loosens ligaments, your center of gravity shifts, and your pelvis prepares for birth. Our gentle care supports pelvic balance, eases common discomfort, and supports healthy nervous-system function as you grow.
About the Webster Technique: This is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and gentle adjustment that helps restore balance to the muscles and ligaments of the pelvis. As chiropractors, we care for the mother. We focus entirely on optimizing your sacral alignment and pelvic comfort.
The best time to begin is as early as possible, though it is never too late. We welcome pregnant patients at any stage. Let us know how we can best support you.
The home stretch. Your baby is getting bigger and has less room, so you may feel stronger kicks and more pressure. Some early symptoms can return, such as reflux, fatigue, and trouble sleeping, along with new ones like Braxton Hicks tightening and backaches. As your baby drops lower in preparation for birth, you may feel more pelvic pressure but breathe a little easier.
Gentle care helps support pelvic biomechanics, ease hip and low-back discomfort, and maintain sacral alignment as relaxin softens your connective tissue for birth. This is the stage where the Webster Technique is often emphasized to support optimal pelvic function and balance.
The Webster Technique and birth prep: The Webster Technique is a specific sacral analysis and gentle adjustment that helps reduce sacral and SI joint dysfunction and supports balance in the pelvic muscles and ligaments. The goal is improved comfort and pelvic function for you as your body prepares for delivery.
As delivery approaches, weekly visits are common to keep you comfortable and balanced through the final weeks. You are doing great, Mama. Hang in there.
Your care continues. Once your little one arrives, our care carries right into the postpartum season as you bring baby home. Watch for your next guide, and reach out any time a question comes up.
