In order to feel more at ease, confident, and comfortable in the final weeks of pregnancy, it takes significant and intentional effort and preparation during pregnancy. In this episode, Dr. Shannon and Doula Rachael share tips for preparing your mind, body, and heart for navigating the final weeks of pregnancy so that labor can begin and unfold as it should and you can feel less stress, fear, and doubt during this time. 

They share information about due dates and how you can focus on the due month instead of the due date. They also talk about ways you can prepare your body for labor, signs of labor, what to do if you experience prodromal labor, benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy and early labor, and how to prepare your mind and heart for those final weeks of pregnancy. 

There is no 1-way to get labor started so we focus on all the other ways you can prepare yourself for the final weeks of pregnancy so that you can be more comfortable and feel confident in yourself, your baby, and the normal process of labor and birth. Approaching labor in this way can help avoid an unnecessary induction which can improve overall outcomes and help you have a more positive birthing experience.

Dr. Shannon had the honor of being a guest on the Magic of Mamahood Podcast with Caitlin and Stefany, and we’re so thankful that they shared their episode with us at the Aligned Birth Podcast.  They had some wonderful questions about the importance of posture, how poor posture can affect us over time, ways to combat posture issues, chiropractic care during pregnancy and what that looks like, chiropractic care and allergies, pediatric chiropractic care, and more!  You definitely want to listen to the end for my top 3 takeaways about the importance of chiropractic care.  And be sure to check out Cailtin and Stefany’s podcast.  Motherhood takes a village, and their fitness, nutrition, and general women’s wellness knowledge that they share is an important part of our motherhood tribe.

In this episode, Dr. Shannon and Doula Rachael discuss tips for ways to best support someone who just gave birth. This is great for the partner or spouse as well as for close family and friends…anyone providing support to a new mother. The goal is to provide practical and actionable tips for supporting new moms in a meaningful and beneficial way.  Family and friends usually have good intentions with wanting to help but they may not know exactly what the birthing person needs. As the birthing person, it is helpful if you can know ways to ask for help and if you are the non-birthing person, pick a few of these tips that align with you and do those things. With authentic and meaningful support, new mothers have a greater chance to focus on rest, healing, nourishing herself and her baby.  This kind of support has the potential to provide benefits for months and even years to come. The inspiration for this episode came from Kier Gains, a licensed therapist as well as an article on Motherly.com.

In today’s episode Doula Rachael and Dr. Shannon discuss the Pathways to Family Wellness article: Choosing a Birth Class: Hospital-Based vs. Independent Childbirth Education.  This article highlights how childbirth education is integral in preparing for giving birth but women sometimes feel overwhelmed by all the options available. This article offers a great comparison between hospital based classes and out-of-hospital based classes. 

We share how classes vary greatly based on approach, philosophies, and the resources they offer.  As always, our goal is to help provide information to support you in your decision making because, “Research shows that how women feel about their control over the decisions made during their births impacts how they reflect on their birth experiences, and when women come out of their births feeling like they were in control, they have an easier time integrating the experience into their postpartum reality and transitioning into the new role of mothering”.  Knowledge is power, and independent childbirth education classes are one knowledge tool to empower women as they prepare for birth.

Let’s face it, sometimes pregnancy brings about pain, discomfort.  In this episode, we discuss some common discomforts experienced during pregnancy as well as the remedies that we have learned about that can help provide relief.  We talk about nausea, vomiting, bloating, cramping, exhaustion, fatigue, increased headaches, increased urination, incontinence, general pelvic pain and lightning crotch.  We are not obstetricians or midwives, the information shared in this episode is our opinion and based on our personal and professional experience as a chiropractor and a birth doula/childbirth educator.  Always consult your care provider if you have questions or concerns and before taking any supplements or medications.  Just because these are common pregnancy discomforts, it doesn’t mean you have to suffer through them or that there’s nothing to do about it.  Hopefully this episode gives you some tips to try, thoughts and conversations to have with your care provider, and hope that you’re not alone in what you’re feeling.

As you prepare for labor and birth, packing the hospital back can be somewhat daunting because “what do you really need”.  And let’s face it, anytime we’re packing for a trip and forget something, it can cause unnecessary stress.  We definitely don’t need extra stress when it comes to giving birth!  This episode shares some helpful tips for packing for the hospital, but this list can also be useful if you are planning a home birth.  We share the reasons it is beneficial to pack your bag in advance so that you have time to gather what you need and want with you at the hospital.  We include things to consider for labor and birth for you and your partner as well as for after the birth for you, your partner, and your new baby.  Preparation is key and our hope is that a few of these things will resonate with you and help you have a satisfying experience.

In this episode, Jessica Brock, a patient of Dr. Shannon and one of Doula Rachel’s former client’s, shares her two birth stories. She shares how she prepared for her first birth with lots of research and advocacy and how this helped her navigate her long and exhausting (albeit beautiful and healthy) birth of her first son in 2018.  She then shares how her first birth informed her 2nd birth and the things she chose to do differently for her 2nd birth to her daughter Nora in 2020 amidst a global pandemic. 

Jessica shares about switching providers late in pregnancy, PROM (premature rupture of membranes), getting adjusted by Dr. Shannon in early labor, laboring at home until later in labor, and giving birth within 2 hours of arriving at the hospital.  Jessica also talks about her experiences during postpartum with both of her kiddos. 

Be sure to listen until the end because she offers some beautiful words of encouragement and advice for those expecting a baby soon.  

There are so many nuggets of wisdom from Jessica as she shares her beautiful and empowering experiences of giving birth. She is inspiring, encouraging, honest, and vulnerable. You don’t want to miss this episode!

In this episode, Dr. Shannon and Doula Rachael dissect an article from one of their favorite magazines, Pathways to Family Wellness.  This article is about the Role of Chiropractic in Childbirth Education and is by Sarah Clark. The article premise is how chiropractic care is an essential part of not just birth, but childbirth education, and how it has the ability to change birth as we know it.  A good question the article brings up is: “How do well-prepared people sometimes end up with a birth very different from the one they planned?” We go over the pros and cons of this article and share our own feedback on this important topic. 

You can find the Pathways article here: Role of Chiropractic in Childbirth Education

It is also found in Pathways to Family Wellness Magazine Issues #41 and #64
