She spotlights how chiropractic adjustments can realign the pelvis and sacrum, creating a more conducive environment for the baby to descend during the birth process. Join us as we unveil the transformative potential of chiropractic care, debunking common myths, and serving as a valuable educational tool for expecting individuals.

Sharing heartfelt testimonials and experiences, we aim to influence a paradigm shift, highlighting the positive impacts of chiropractic care during pregnancy.

As we wrap up this informative episode, we underscore the importance of thorough preparation and awareness around the entire birthing process. A standout story is shared of a mother diagnosed with preeclampsia who experienced a successful natural birth at the hospital, thanks to a thorough education and a supportive team including a doula and a chiropractor. We share the importance of  advocating for more awareness and available options for pregnant women. Dr. Aklilu's staunch belief in the advantages of staying active during pregnancy and the role of chiropractic care in facilitating this, shines through. We aim to spark a productive dialogue among providers, with the goal of allaying fear-based decisions, focusing solely on the ultimate prize: a healthy mom and a healthy baby.
