Pregnancy Care at Thriving Families: A Neurological Approach to Empowered Birth and Postpartum Health
At Thriving Families Chiropractic, we believe pregnancy is one of the most powerful and transformative seasons in a woman’s life. That’s why our approach is rooted not only in supporting your physical body, but in optimizing the function of the most important system guiding every aspect of your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience: your nervous system.
Your Nervous System Sets the Tone for Baby’s Development
From the moment pregnancy begins, your nervous system is laying the groundwork for your baby’s development. The tone of your nervous system directly influences how your baby grows and how their own nervous system begins to form. A calm, balanced nervous system helps ensure your baby is developing in an environment of safety, proper oxygenation, and regulated hormonal flow.
When your nervous system is stuck in stress mode which is often daily life for many women in the United States (sympathetic dominance), it can interfere with digestion, blood flow, hormone regulation, and emotional wellbeing—all critical to a healthy pregnancy and developing baby.
The Role of the Nervous System in Labor and Delivery
Postpartum Health Starts During Pregnancy
At Thriving Families, we know that postpartum healing is not something that begins after birth—it starts during pregnancy. Your nervous system plays a vital role in everything from gut absorption and hormone balance to mood regulation and immune health.
Issues like postpartum depression and anxiety are reaching epidemic levels, and research continues to show how closely tied these challenges are to gut-brain health and nervous system dysregulation.
Our care is specifically designed to:
- Support healthy gut-brain connection
- Improve nutrient absorption to aid in healing and recovery
- Increase vagal tone for emotional resilience
- Promote better sleep, mood, and energy in postpartum months
By addressing nervous system function during pregnancy, we help reduce the likelihood of postpartum mood disorders and ensure moms feel supported and strong in their healing.
How We Measure the Nervous System
We use cutting-edge technology, including HRV (Heart Rate Variability) scanning, to evaluate how well your nervous system is adapting to the physical, emotional, and chemical stressors of pregnancy. HRV gives us a powerful look at your resilience, adaptability, and balance between the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-digest-heal) branches of your nervous system. We also use other nervous system scans to assess how the nervous system is responding to pregnancy and or postpartum to make sure you achieve outstanding results and get the care you deserve.
Through these insights, we create a custom care plan focused on restoring optimal nervous system tone and improving overall health for both mom and baby.
