My goal when I first got pregnant with my second son (born in February) was to have a natural and less difficult birth than my first and when I researched, a lot of what I read pointed me to 1.) using a midwife and 2.) the Webster technique in chiropractic care. The Vanderbilt Midwives helped me with that first piece, and thankfully, I found a chiro in Cool Springs at Kyd Kyro (Dr. Rousseau) that is one of the few in the state certified in Webster technique - which is a much gentler and targeted technique for pregnant women. With her great care during my entire pregnancy, I never worried about the typical aches and pains, and she even helped with relieving a lot of the swelling in my feet and loss of feeling in my hands I was having. I was even able to have a prenatal massage in Dr. Rousseau's office by her on-staff massage therapist, Brittany. I ended up having the smooth, all-natural birth I wanted without any complications, and after my son came, I took him to her within the first week for an adjustment for him, and I have never seen a baby so relaxed and sleeping for so long afterwards! He's been a much easier baby than my first, and alot of that I attribute to having him adjusted. The combination of Vandy Midwives and Kid Kyro were really what I believe helped me achieve the kind of birth I wanted. Thank you so much, Dr. Rousseau!
