Find a chiropractor who is a Spinning Babies^® Aware Practitioner (SpBAP). If there is not a SpBAP close to you, find a Chiropractor trained in the Webster Technique (all are trained in prenatal care, but some go the extra mile with additional training). A Chiropractor or Osteopath can help align your spine, which helps your nervous system work optimally. Plus, you’ll feel like a million bucks after a good adjustment! For now, bringing balance to your spine and pelvis can actually help ease nausea. As you see your Chiropractor throughout pregnancy, adjustments may help relieve back, neck, and pelvic pain, while also bringing balance to your body that can reduce labor time.

Your baby and its protective sac have grown to ¼ of an inch, or the size of a sweet pea! The embryo grows from a long pear shape into a shrimp shape, but don’t let these primitive shapes fool you. The face is forming already, and the major organs and early fingers are starting to appear. The heart is already beating and pumping blood, sending the first signals up the early spinal cord structure to direct the beginning of brain formation.
