FIRST TRIMESTER

Congratulations! Now that you are pregnant there is a tiny human miraculously developing inside you. Your baby’s most critical development will take place during the next ten weeks. Optimize your health by eating right, avoiding toxins, getting extra rest and relaxation, and letting people baby you.

Common first trimester symptoms include fatigue and so-called ‘morning’ sickness, which can actually be nausea and vomiting that lasts all day.  Many women also experience heightened levels of anxiety.  Anxiety, which often goes undetected, may intensify your fatigue and nausea. Our first trimester care focuses on reducing tension and anxiousness and working to replace it with a calm mind and relaxed nervous system.  Our patients often report decreased nausea and more energy while under our care.  Services may include gentle massage, chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, Chinese herbs, nutritional counseling and prenatal counseling.
