Yes it is absolutely safe in pregnancy.

sorry you were in a car accident! Awful anyway and worse pregnant!

Have you been checked by your caregiver since the accident? I would see the

OB or midwife re the pelvic pain.

I went in to the hospital that night to get checked out. The pelvic pain I

suspect is from being out of adjustment. I had just been adjusted earlier

that day. It is a bone/muscle like pain. Not a pain like labor. But yes

that night I went to the hospital and stayed overnight for observation.

Everything was in the place it should be no ruptures or anything.

That is so good that you had the accident right _after_ an

adjustment. So many times people think that's bad 'cause

they have to come back but, think about it, an accident

with a stabilized spine is going to result in much less

injury then when it's had with a misaligned spine. So many

times I'll have a regular patient come in with the same kind

of accident as a new patient. The one that is regularly

checked was injured so much less and required much less

treatment then the new patient. And I'm talking about two

people that are about the same in the basics of general

health: age, health history, body type, etc. I'm sure

there's a research opportunity there but never could get

through that dang statistics course :-)

You're in my prayers, Rena, you and baby will be fine!!

So, remember folks, the time to have an accident is AFTER

you've been adjusted. When a regular patient comes in right

after it, I reward them by not collecting a fee. Yeah, I do

bill the insurance, if they have it (that dang phone,

electric, etc. bill just keeps coming LOL) Now, with cell

phones patients call me from the accident scene. I tell

'em, clean up the blood and come on over. I figure if they

can still drive/walk they lucked out and will only need

chiropractic care.

I had figured that it was probably good that I had just been adjusted that

day. I also wasn't expecting the impact so I was also not tensed up.

Probably another reason nothing as far as placental ruptures or anything of

that sort happened.
