“The popular semi-recumbent position that places the labouring woman on her back onto the apex of the sacrum closes off the vital space needed for the baby to get through the pelvic outlet. This delivery position is the main reason why so many births are traumatic, labour is stalled, the mom becomes fatigued and overwhelmed by pain, so the utilization of epidurals, forceps, episiotomies, vacuum extraction, and caesarean increases. This is why squatting is the preferred position—gravity works to help and the pelvic outlet can open to a greater degree. Squatting during delivery results in decreased use of forceps and a shorter second stage of labour than the semi-recumbent position!” – Stacey Rosenberg

Positioning is also a biomechanical factor in the process of labor. Certain positions, like lying flat on the back, can reduce pelvic outlet space by limiting natural sacral movement, while upright positions such as squatting allow gravity and joint mechanics to work with the body, creating more room for the baby to navigate the pelvis.

✨ Supporting proper alignment and encouraging optimal positioning throughout pregnancy helps reduce unnecessary mechanical stress on both mother and baby, promoting a smoother birth!

“Imagine a child that has been connected during its entire developmental period, and all of a sudden he’s thrust out into the world. The umbilical cord is cut, and now the child is floating. When a child is taken away from the mother during the birth process, it is the ultimate fear that a child will ever experience. It has profound physiological consequences on the hormonal system and belief system of the child, and his trust in the world. However, when a child is born and laid on his mother’s stomach and the child comes naturally up to the breast, then the heartbeat that was there for the entire developmental period is restored to the child. The safety, the touch, the comfort and the bonding that occurs during this time is more than just physical bond- ing—it’s an energy bonding. It’s fulfilling the natural developmental process, assuring a happiness and a health to this child, letting him know that he is being welcomed and loved. When we make birth a medical procedure, we throw a monkey wrench into the entire system. We have to know that this child is a lot more than just a bundle of cells being born. It is an intelligent human being, quite aware of the environment.” – Bruce Lipton, PhD

Birth is a profound transition and immediate connection between mother and baby supports the child’s sense of safety, regulating their physiology and shaping trust in the world. When this natural bonding process is honored, it supports healthy development and well-being.

“Sometimes science is filled with transcendent meaning more beautiful than any poem. To me, this new research shows the poetry packed in the people all around us.
It’s now known that cells from a developing fetus cross the placenta, allowing the baby’s DNA to become part of the mother’s body. These fetal cells persist in a woman’s body into her old age. (If she has been pregnant with a male child, it’s likely she’ll have some Y chromosomes drifting around for a few decades, too). This is true even if the baby she carried didn’t live to be born. The cells of that child stay with her, resonating in ways that mothers have known intuitively throughout time.

Fetal cells you contributed to your own mother may be found in her blood, bone marrow, skin, kidney and liver. These fetal cells appear to ‘treat’ her when she is ill or injured. Researchers have noticed the presence of these cells in women diagnosed with illnesses such as thyroid disease and hepatitis C. In one case, a woman stopped treatment against medical advice. A liver biopsy showed ‘thousands of male cells’ determined to be from a pregnancy terminated nearly 20 years earlier. These cells helped her body recover, just as fetal cells you gave your mother rush to help repair her from within when she’s unwell.” – Laura Grace Weldon

Mothers and children share a profound, embodied connection. Life is not only carried by mothers, but continually shared and exchanged at every level of being. May we honor the deep intelligence of this relationship and the ways it shapes, heals, and connects us across generations. Wishing all mothers a very happy Mother’s Day.

“It is the innate intelligence of the body that heals continuously from moment to moment. In other words, you heal yourself! Hippocrates told us, ‘Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well.’ As parents seeking true wellness, it is imperative we seek out care providers who recognize, respect and support this healing from within. Chiropractors are such providers.” – Bobby Doscher, DC

Your body carries an innate intelligence, a built-in wisdom that is constantly healing, adapting, and working toward balance. Chiropractic care helps remove interference in the nervous system, allowing this natural healing power to flow more freely so the body can thrive.

“There’s a tendency in our world to not really pay attention to those things as some kind of information below the level of head; it’s not that relevant. But I’ve found that it’s the voice of the cells that gives us reason and understanding; cells are actually reading our behavior and giving us information as to whether or not we’re working in harmony with our biology. Using this intelligence is vital; it will help us create a happy, harmonious life on this planet.” – Bruce Lipton, PhD

The body is not a passive machine but a living, intelligent system constantly communicating through sensations, emotions, and symptoms to guide us toward balance and harmony. When we learn to trust and listen to these signals—especially in parenting and pregnancy—we reconnect with an innate wisdom that supports more aligned, responsive choices.

Pregnancy and birth are powerful windows for transformation—not only for improving physical health and habits, but for deepening self-awareness, relationships, and a sense of purpose. 

When birth is honored as a meaningful, community-centered experience rather than a purely clinical event, it has the potential to heal not just individuals, but families and cultures. By bringing presence, intention, and reverence to these moments, we reconnect with a deeper wisdom about life, growth, and belonging.

Chiropractic care supports this transformation by helping the body function with greater balance and ease during pregnancy and birth, creating the conditions for a more connected, empowered, and physiologically supported experience.
