This morning I went to a chiropractor, Dr. Erin Anderson, recommended to me by my midwife.  I was extremely impressed!  She is humble, sweet, gentle, kind, and knowledgeable.  And she has eyes in her fingers!

My midwife recommended I go to a chiropractor because I’m in my last trimester of pregnancy and the baby has been in some strange positions.  I went last week to my regular chiropractor.  During the adjustment I was pleased to see that the baby moved from being sideweays/oblique to being head-down.

Today, one week later, I visited Dr. Erin, who actually specializes in pregnant women.  I’m a lot more comfortable with her since she is female.  I’m also happy to have found a chiropractor who would be willing to attend my home birth.

I’ve seen 4 separate chiropractors while pregnant, but this lady takes the cake.  She knows a pregnant woman’s body and really has a natural gift for what she does.  I was amazed that she knew where all my sore spots were, and why they were sore.  Today she noted that the left side of my uterus was tensed up.  After massaging it for a couple of minutes the baby actually moved further down.  I’m a very happy momma since my lungs have more room to breathe now!

Dr. Erin recently moved her practice from Canada to the Twin Cities.  For all of you pregnant ladies in the Minneapolis area, I highly recommend her.  Her website is www.lifelonghealthchiropractic.com.
