Ep 49: Common Pregnancy Discomforts + Remedies

Send us Fan MailLet’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.  Resources mentioned:Role of vagal neurocircuits in the regulation of nausea and vomitThe effect of spinal manipulative therapy on heart rate variability and pain in patients with chronic neck pain: a randomized controlled trialSustained improvement of heart rate variability in patients undergoing a program of chiropractic care: A retrospective case seriesThe effect of relaxin on the musculoskeletal system Serum relaxin and pelvic pain What is relaxinFollow us on Instagram:Aligned Birth - www.instagram.com/aligned_birthDr. Shannon - www.instagram.com/sunrise_chiropractic_wellnessDoula Rachael - www.instagram.com/northatlantabirthCheck out our individual websites:Sunrise Chiropractic and Wellness - www.sunrisechiropracticandwellness.comNorth Atlanta Birth Services - www.northatlantabirth.comDisclaimerThe information shared, obtained, and discussed in this podcast is not intended as medical advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional consultation with a qualified healthcare provider familiar with your individual medical needs.
