“I wish I would have known about you for my first pregnancy.” I hear it from most of the moms who come into my office pregnant with their second or third child. Inside, sometimes I felt like a phony. I’d secretly think to myself “I knew about chiropractic, did what I was trained to do, and we still ended up with a c-section after a 47 hour labor.”
Our first birth didn’t go as planned. Plainly speaking his labor and birth were a mess, and I dealt with the aftermath for years. Talking about the shockwaves from that experience still chokes me up. I became depressed and questioned what I knew about my skill set. I was a “fixer” left with a problem I didn’t have the tools to fix. However, I came to understand that my son’s journey was also my journey as a provider (and father). This was an important insight. It let me prepare for the first pregnancy of my subsequent relationship differently.
A New Chapter
Danielle and I live in 2 different states. Like most couples we’ve faced stressors on top of the pandemic stress, including changing our homebirth plan at 37 weeks. Our pregnancy journey was met with a lot of apologetic cringes.
So in the face of that, what did I do differently? I upskilled. You know what happened? It worked, just like it has worked for hundreds of families I’ve cared for since my first son’s birth.
