What does pregnancy advocacy look like?

Pregnancy is a blessing for many families as it is a way they are expanding their family; and for some, it is a situation that is unwanted and quite scary. What does pregnancy advocacy look like for expecting mothers? Too often the mother will get overlooked in service to the “Medical condition of pregnancy”. Or on the other end, the gravity of the situation of pregnancy is minimized and the mother and father are left in the dark to what is actually going on. We believe in advocacy of the mother, father, and baby through love, medical support, emotional support, and other supports. We want to discuss how we here at CJ Chiropractic advocate for our pregnancy patients and their families.

The biggest advocacy that we are able to do here at CJ Chiropractic is to provide resources for mothers on the process of their pregnancy and their upcoming birth, so they have access to ALL of the information out there surrounding birth. When mothers are in the dark, it leads to outcomes that are not desirable for the mother or baby. We strive to make sure our patients are not victims to their pregnancy but rather, empowered mothers that are in charge of their pregnancy. Mothers have full medical autonomy over their baby when they are earth side, it should be the same when they are in the whom.
