Leia, it's me Annika from the group, I know I already told you this on a FB post, but just repeating it again in case any other ladies on the site was wondering.
I've had my 2nd session with my chiro today. Initially I started going to see him for some upper body tingling, but even though that has gone away now, I really do want to keep seeing him until I finally go into labor. My first session with him he did mention that his procedures could induce me because of the hormone called "relaxin," that will be released from the body, it's the same one that is released during breastfeeding too. The reason for this potentially working is due to your body being relaxed, less tense, and less stressed. Of course like most natural induction methods, it will only work if baby is really ready.
My chiro has also realigned my spine, my hips, my pelvis, and my neck, which he said will help open my hips and pelvis more for labor and birth, which is a plus in my eyes. In just one session he had said that my baby has dropped more as before we wasn't engaged at all, and even if it doesn't send me into labor, my god, I've probably had the best sleep I've had in months! Even with a giant belly in the way. I feel entirely relaxed, and life restored to me, where as before I was comparable to a zombie, and in general, am feeling so much better both physically and emotionally. So any ladies, if you are thinking of seeing a chiro, I'd highly suggest one that specializes in prenatal care. There's no guarantee that it will send you into labor, but having your spine, hips and pelvis aligned for a better birth is enough of a reason for me to go in itself! And the better sleep is a huge plus too!
