I have heard many patients state that their labors were far, far, shorter than previous labors were before they were worked on by me. There have been a few patients where the doctors have still done C-sections, but I still wonder exactly what happened during those deliveries. Tell your son I said happy birthday, whenever it was! dk Amanda,

However, in my case it did not seem to have a noticeable shortening effect, as I had a 32 hour labor after numerous chiropractic adjustments. (Although whose to say, it may have been 72 otherwise! My mother's longest labor was 3 hours, so I was a bit disappointed...haha!) On the plus side, my chiropractor employed the Webster Technique (used for turning breech babies) and my baby turned at 35 weeks. Unfortunately, he was still in the posterior position for most of the labor, which is not ideal. He was very stubborn (still is at 9 months! ;)) I am pregnant with my second, and hoping that regular adjustments throughout this pregnancy will yield some more positive results and shortened labor (and that my baby will be a bit more laid-back!) This will be especially important, as I have frequent pain in my lower back which was almost unbearable during labor, and which I can feel already, lifting my heavy little man. (I am only 10 weeks so far.) I think my first labor was in no way typical, though. Wish me luck this time! ;) I think this is a valid theory and would seem to make sense.

Having had 6 children myself. Do you also practice with the chiropractic adjustment that can help turn a breech baby in the 35 week plus gestation? I have heard that it is very effective. That unaligned spines and pelvis, especially from carrying a two year old around while pregnant, can have a baby be in the breech position. Please comment? I agree. Having had 6 children myself.
