I have been going to the chiropractor regularly since early February and my chiropractor was really pleased when I became pregnant, as she was hoping getting me all sorted out would help us to conceive a healthy bean.
I am now just over 7.5 weeks and I can't help but get super nervous every time I go. I know the benefits are great, and that it is supposed to be completely safe, but given my history, I quietly panic every time she has adjusted my lower back and sacrum because I am terrified the baby is going to get knocked around and cause me to miscarry (I don't think that is a real concern, but pregnancy is known to make people a little nuts).
She isn't doing anything differently right now and says they typically don't until about 14 weeks (or until I get a belly). I come in and they do this little vibrating massager thing all over my back for a minute or so, then I get adjusted, then go to the roller table for about 10 minutes. She is still pushing on my lower back over where my belly and hips are. Obviously she knows what she is doing and I don't, but is that okay? I know my uterus inside my pelvis at this point, but it still scares me.
Am I panicking for no reason? I love her and would be mortified to quit going and explain my sudden departure with something like, "I am afraid you are going to knock my baby out by adjusting me!" She knows my history and has offered lots of advice on having a healthy pregnancy this time, but I just can't shake this terror that I am doing something wrong when I get adjusted.
Someone just tell me I am being nuts so I can calm down. This is only the second time I have been since I found out, and I just don't want to lose this baby. She even commented today that I seemed a little anxious, so she has me scheduled to come in more often to try to relax me.
