When I found out I was pregnant, I didn't actually see Dr. Wilson until I was about 11 weeks pregnant even though my 18 month old son was seeing him consistently for almost a year. I was told that it wasn't necessary to see a chiropractor until I was 20 weeks pregnant, so I wasn't concerned with the idea that I wasn't getting adjusted. When I told Dr. Wilson the good news he was very concerned and strongly advised that I come in to see him as soon as possible.β°
I saw him the very next week when I started having severe hip and ankle pain anytime I was on my feet for more than 5 minutes. He gave me gentle adjustments which I questioned because they weren't your normal "popping" adjustments you'd expect from a chiropractor. I honestly felt like they were so gentle that it wouldn't do much to help me with my symptoms or support my pregnancy. I quickly realized that I was wrong because I immediately started to feel relief from my physical pain.π
Anyways, aside from that miracle I wasn't able to achieve from my previous other chiropractor I saw years ago, I started to feel less stressed and anxious, something very important to me since I believed it caused my son's premature birth. My midwife was very cautious with me expecting another pre-term pregnancy that never happened. I made it to 38 weeks and 6 days before I gave birth to my second son. I had absolutely no common pregnancy symptoms I had with my first which included heartburn, food aversions, swollen feet, high stress/ anxiety, hemorrhoids, headaches, itchy skin and insomnia.π₯
My birth with my second baby was uncomplicated and completely unmedicated, which was a huge goal of mine.π
My labor was 1 hour and I pushed for about 15 minutes to naturally give birth to a 9.5 pound happy, healthy baby πΆπΌ I had no postpartum depression like I did prior, and I felt like my recovery was much quicker than with my first.
Overall, I am so extremely grateful for the help I received from Dr. Wilson. I will NEVER have another child without his help because he truly made my pregnancy one that most people dream about!π€°πΌ
