• NEWBORN | BABIES + CHIROPRACTIC ⠀ ⠀ It is so CRUCIAL that we care for mamas during postpartum because the 4th TRIMESTER is what I call the “FORGOTTEN PHASE”. ⠀ ⠀ This is a fragile time because women are adapting, recovering, and dealing with additional stressors on their bodies... like carrying around a little human and ALL of their accessories 😩, and that shouldn’t be taken likely. ⠀ ⠀ That’s why we offer POSTPARTUM PLANS for MOMMY & BABY because mamas need nurturing care during this time AND so does the baby!!!⠀ ⠀ 🎥CHECK OUT OUR STORIES NOW to learn why we check babies after birth and why they might need care. Dr. Charminae (Shar-men-a) is discussing the 3 main things that she checks for during our “INFANT DISCOVERY SESSIONS” * Our AFFORDABLE “MOMMY & ME” POSTPARTUM PLANS are discussed at this session. ...and NO this is NOT just for vaginal birth babies... ALL babies should be checked by a trained perinatal/pediatric chiropractor. ⠀ ⠀ 💚Love you guys!!! Have a great weekend!!! 😘😘😘💯⠀ 📸 lifted from @urbanmomspot

  • REPOST::: My apologies😩 CHIROPRACTIC + LABOR ⠀⠀ 🔸FUN FACT::: I am a birth doula and I’ve been one since 2015. Although I no longer do doula work in the typical capacity, I still utilize the skills in conjunction WITH CHIROPRACTIC when I am called to births as I did on this past Saturday. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 🔸WHAT DOES CHIROPRACTIC HAVE TO DO WITH LABOR + BIRTH???⠀⠀ Wellllll... I’m gonna use Saturday’s birth as an example. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Sometimes babies enter the birth canal in the wrong position (i.e. facing the front of mama instead of facing the back of her.) As a result, you have the hardest part of baby going against the hardest part of mama and this can cause “back labor”, which can be extremely painful for mom or it can slow down the progression of labor. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ So, perinatal chiropractors, like myself🙋🏽‍♀️, provide a chiropractic adjustment to mama’s pelvis to give baby more room. By doing this, they are able to rotate into the correct or better position ON THEIR OWN... I DO NOT MANUALLY ROTATE THEM. The space allows them the freedom to do it themselves. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Sometimes it’s NOT just one adjustment that is needed and this is how I differ from most chiropractors by combining my doula skills + spinning babies training + craniosacral training to help mom and baby achieve a better birth experience. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 🔶In addition to labor being painful...⠀⠀ Some moms need emotional & mental support... and I give her that during the time that I am with her too because a stressful situation can slow labor down also or prevent it from progressing at all. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 🔸NOTE: I do NOT take the place of her doula (if she has one) or Midwife/OB. I never overstep on anyone’s role and I ONLY work WITH her birth team. ⠀⠀ My goal is to help mamas and babes work TOGETHER better and IMPROVE HOW WOMEN GIVE BIRTH. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ As you can see I am NOT your typical chiropractor AT ALL, but I want you to know how I can serve you, boo boo!!! 😝⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Slide 👉🏽for a mini review from Midwife Racha @crimson_fig!!! She’s so dope!!! Check her out if you are lookin for a Midwife here in LA if you don’t already know about her. 🤗🤗🤗⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Love youuuuu!!! XoXo, Dr. Charminae (Shar-men-a)⠀⠀ 😘😘😘💯⠀⠀⠀ 📸 @originsbirth center with Midwife Gina

Anyhoo... as you were!!! 😂😂😂 #blessmyheart LOVE YOU GUYS!!! 😘😘😘💯 ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Original caption: ASK DR. CHARMINAE | PREGNANCY EDITION⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 🔸HOW SOON CAN I GET ADJUSTED DURING MY PREGNANCY?⠀⠀ ————⠀⠀ You can get adjusted as soon as you learn that you are pregnant. Getting adjusted prior to pregnancy is great too, because it allows you and your baby to have a healthier pregnancy right from the start. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 🔸WHEN IS IT TOO LATE TO GET ADJUSTED?⠀⠀ ————⠀⠀ It’s never “too” late! You can get adjusted the day you give birth and while in labor, but I HIGHLY recommend that you don’t wait that long because then you and your baby can’t enjoy the chiropractic benefits during your pregnancy. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 🔸WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GETTING PRENATAL CHIROPRACTIC CARE?⠀⠀ ————⠀⠀ Chiropractic care IMPROVES birth outcomes by:⠀⠀ ✅ Creating more comfortable & healthier pregnancies⠀⠀ ✅ Helping baby to get into the best fetal position prior to birth or during labor⠀⠀ ✅Decreasing interventions for your labor & birth⠀⠀ ✅Decreasing UNNECESSARY c-sections ⠀⠀⠀ ✅Improving your baby’s health in & out of womb⠀⠀ ✅Improving breastfeeding experiences⠀⠀⠀ ✅Decreasing % of postpartum depression cases⠀⠀⠀ ✅Improving adaptability in the 4th trimester⠀⠀⠀ and much more...⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 🔸BONUS: I CAN CRACK MY OWN NECK & BACK... IS THAT THE SAME AS CHIROPRACTIC CARE? (Yes, people actually think this😑)⠀⠀ ————⠀⠀ Chiropractors do NOT crack necks & backs!!! We ADJUST the spine... which DIRECTLY affects your NERVOUS SYSTEM (the system that is responsible for controlling all the things that you do within your body.) ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Ok. That’s it for now!!! If you have any additional questions, just shoot be a DM, and I might address it on my next Ask Dr. Charminae (Shar-men-a)⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Love you guys!!! HaPPiEsT WeeKeND!!! 😘😘😘💯
