Sometimes a pregnant mother experiences pain on the front of the pelvis at the pubic bone. This is known as SPD or Symphysis Pubic Dysfunction. There is a an actual joint in the front of the pelvis called the symphysis pubis and it can be manipulated to relieve pressure and discomfort.
Chiropractic is beneficial for every pregnant woman. It is especially valuable to women who have had difficult deliveries in the past, women who have had C-sections (regardless of whether they want to attempt a VBAC or repeat cesarean), and women that have malpositioned babies (breech, transverse, or oblique).
According to the American Pregnancy Association, "Optimal baby positioning at the time of birth also eliminates the potential for dystocia (difficult labor) and, therefore, results in easier and safer deliveries for both the mother and baby."
