    Oh - and my chiro didn't take xrays or anything, I had a report from an earlier xray from a few years ago that showed what was wrong with the bottom of my spine, but thats about it. She doesn't manipulate anything either, she just has a little clicker thingy.

    I saw one once, when I was 41+1 weeks. Baby hadn't engaged yet.

    I went into labour that evening, baby engaged at some point after the chiro appointment, and I delivered him the next day.

    No x-rays, no prior treatment. Obviously don't know if it worked at all, but baby certainly decided he was ready to come within hours of the chiro appt.

    I've been seeing a chiro since December last year. I'm not having any back problems (so far) with this pregnancy. I would definitely recommend a chiro to someone, whether they are pregnant or not!

    Thanks everyone! I'm definitely going to go!

    What's the difference between a chiro and an osteo??

    a chiro realigns the bones and an osteo realigns the muscles/ligaments/etc that keeps the bones in place
