The 4th Trimester: Supporting Your Postnatal Journey
The journey doesn’t end with delivery. At Family Chiropractic and Wellness, we recognize that the first three months after birth—commonly called the fourth trimester—are a vital transition period for both mother and baby.

A Time of Profound Change
While your newborn adapts to life outside the womb, your body begins its own remarkable transformation. During pregnancy, your body produced Relaxin, a hormone that increased joint and tendon flexibility. As these hormone levels adjust after delivery, you may experience changes in your spinal and pelvic alignment.
Understanding Your Body’s Changes
Your center of gravity shifts again after delivery, creating new patterns of movement as you care for your baby. The repeated motions of feeding, changing, and carrying your newborn can affect your posture, often leading to rounded shoulders and strain on your spine.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Your Recovery
Our specialized fourth trimester care offers mothers:
- Reduced neck and back discomfort
- Enhanced recovery from labour and delivery
- Improved comfort during feeding sessions
- Restored spinal and pelvic balance
