If you’re pregnant with baby number two (or beyond), you might be noticing this pregnancy feels harder on your body – and you’re not imagining it.
Subsequent pregnancies can bring more discomfort, and there are a few key reasons why.
After your first pregnancy, your core and pelvic floor muscles may not fully regain their original strength. That makes it harder to support your growing belly the second time around, often leading to more back pain, ab separation, and pelvic pressure.
Hormonal changes like the early release of relaxin can also happen faster, loosening your joints and creating more instability and discomfort.
On top of that, you’re not just pregnant – you’re probably also parenting. Lifting, chasing, and multitasking while growing a baby adds extra strain, making your body feel more fatigued and tight.
And because your uterus has stretched before, your bump may grow faster, which can shift your posture and increase lower back pain earlier on.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy can offer natural relief. Gentle adjustments help realign the pelvis and spine, easing pressure, improving mobility, and supporting better posture.
Techniques like the Webster Technique are designed specifically for pregnancy, helping reduce pain and even encouraging better baby positioning.
Pregnancy might feel tougher this time, but that doesn’t mean you have to suffer through it. Chiropractic care can help you feel stronger, more supported, and ready for birth.
