👶 Conception & Early Development (Weeks 1-8)
- Fertilization occurs, and the new human being, called a zygote, begins rapid cell division.
- The baby implants in the uterine lining, transitioning into the embryonic stage.
- By week 5, the heart begins beating—110 beats per minute!
- Brain, spinal column, and nervous system form, making nervous system health a priority during pregnancy.
- By week 8, reflex responses begin, and the baby reacts to stimuli.
- Chiropractic Care: Early pregnancy adjustments help regulate the nervous system, reduce early pregnancy discomfort, and support proper hormonal balance.
- Key Supplements:
✅ Prenatal vitamins with methylated folate (better absorption for fetal neural tube development)
✅ Omega-3s (DHA/EPA) for brain, eye, and nervous system formation
✅ Magnesium to support implantation and reduce cramping - Lifestyle Tip: Start mindful movement like prenatal yoga or gentle walks to support circulation and reduce early pregnancy fatigue.
💡 First Trimester: Building the Blueprint for Life (Weeks 9-12)
- Week 9: Facial features take shape, neurons form, and brain function begins.
- Week 10: All organs are present and functioning, except the lungs.
- Week 12: Baby is moving, swallowing, and forming sleep patterns.
- Chiropractic Care: Helps manage hormonal headaches, nausea, and back tension as the body adjusts to pregnancy.
- Key Supplements:
✅ Probiotics to support gut health and immune development for mom & baby
✅ Vitamin D for immune function and fetal bone development
✅ B-complex vitamins to support energy production and reduce morning sickness - Lifestyle Tip: Hydration is key! Drink plenty of electrolyte-rich water (with lemon & sea salt) to support circulation and reduce pregnancy fatigue.
🌱 Second Trimester: Strength, Growth & Movement (Weeks 13-27)
- Week 13: Baby breathes amniotic fluid, forming taste preferences.
- Week 17: Heart pumps 100 pints of blood per day.
- Week 20: Baby is drinking amniotic fluid, strengthening digestion.
- Week 24: Hearing develops, and baby responds to voices, music, and external sounds.
- Week 27: The nervous system is actively regulating movement and growth.
- Chiropractic Care: Supports pelvic balance and optimal fetal positioning as the baby grows.
- Key Supplements:
✅ Collagen peptides to support skin elasticity, prevent stretch marks, and aid in ligament strength
✅ Iron (heme or plant-based with vitamin C) for blood volume expansion and energy levels
✅ Calcium & magnesium combo to prevent leg cramps and support baby’s bone growth - Lifestyle Tip: Daily stretching and movement (Webster Technique-informed exercises) help reduce round ligament pain and keep the pelvis open for birth preparation.
🤰 Third Trimester: Preparing for Birth (Weeks 28-40)
- Week 30: Rapid brain growth forms neural connections for life.
- Week 34: Bones harden, except the skull (to allow for birth).
- Week 37: Baby practices breathing, sucking, and swallowing.
- Week 39: Full-term! Reflexes are coordinated, and baby is ready for life outside the womb.
- Chiropractic Care: Webster Technique ensures the pelvis is balanced and aligned, creating optimal space for baby to turn head-down and engage in the birth canal.
- Key Supplements:
✅ Red raspberry leaf tea to strengthen the uterus and support efficient contractions
✅ Dates (6 per day) to promote cervical ripening and shorter labor times
✅ Evening primrose oil (consult provider) to support natural softening of the cervix - Lifestyle Tip: Perineal massage and deep squats help prepare the pelvic floor for an easier, more comfortable birth.
