Encouraging a head down baby in the 3rd Trimester!

As a chiropractor who specializes in Prenatal Care at Performance Health Chiropractic and Acupuncture, Dr. Kristen is here to help alleviate any concerns you may have about your baby's positioning as you approach the third trimester of your pregnancy.

There are of course many factors to consider when talking about baby positioning in utero. Its important to note that as a chiropractor I do not flip babies however I ensure mom's body is in balance so baby has optimal room for baby to do its thing and get into position. To achieve this, we offer regular chiropractic adjustments throughout your pregnancy, starting as early as the first trimester. These adjustments can help align the pelvis and body, creating enough space for your baby to move around freely. Additionally, acupuncture can be used to further promote optimal positioning and decrease the stress that comes from worrying about baby position. **Hint Hint stress can prevent baby from turning head down as well.

To encourage optimal positioning, I would like to show you some exercises below that can help make room for your baby. With my guidance and expertise, you can have the confidence that we are doing everything we can to ensure a safe and comfortable delivery for you and your baby.
