The vagus nerve during pregnancy 🧠🤍
You may be hearing about it everywhere lately and for good reason.
The vagus nerve is one of the main communication highways between the brain and the body. During pregnancy, it plays a role in:
• digestion + nutrient absorption 🤢➡️🍎
• mood + emotional regulation 💛
• stress response 😮💨
• heart rate + breathing
• communication with the uterus + growing baby 👶
In other words… it helps your body decide:
am I safe, or am I stressed?
And pregnancy asks that question a lot.
When the nervous system is under constant demand, the vagus nerve can become less efficient, which may show up as:
• digestive changes
• increased anxiety or overwhelm
• poor sleep
• feeling “wired but tired”
Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on supporting healthy nervous system communication, including the pathways that involve the vagus nerve, helping your body shift out of stress and into regulation more easily.
Supporting your nervous system supports both of you.
