Understanding the Hidden Effects of Prenatal Stress

Hormonal Changes

During pregnancy, the body’s natural alert system may activate, releasing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. While these hormones are essential in the short term, chronic exposure can be harmful.

Immune System Impact

Prolonged stress can affect the immune system, potentially increasing the risk of infections or other health issues for the expectant mother.

Development For Baby

A baby’s developing nervous system responds to the hormonal cues from the mother. When these signals fluctuate, they can influence early brain and nervous system development.

Calm Your Nervous System. Transform Your Pregnancy.

✅ Better hormonal regulation

✅ Improved blood pressure and breathing regulation

✅ Stronger immune response

✅ Improved emotional regulation and stress response

✅ Better sleep and improved energy levels

✅ Optimal development and positioning for your growing baby

Hi Mamas,

Your pregnancy journey begins the moment you dream of growing your family and continues through months of choices before, during, and after birth, and it doesn’t end there. Motherhood is a sacred unfolding, from birth and beyond ❤️

Our team are experts in prenatal and perinatal care 🤰🏻, and we know there is no one perfect pregnancy or birth that fits everyone. True preparation isn’t about perfection, it’s about feeling supported, informed, and empowered through the unexpected moments and gentle bumps along the way.

Many moms-to-be (and dads!) don’t realize just how many choices are available when it comes to care, support, and creating a birth experience that aligns with your values and vision. That’s why our perinatal care experts, Dr. Stephanie and Dr. Vee, are personally inviting you to join us for our Birth & Beyond Workshop on February 21st at 2:00 PM at PWC Chiropractic, where you’ll learn how to prepare your body, mind, and heart for pregnancy and birth.

We’re honored to also welcome birth doula Natalie Witek, who will share guidance on planning for your best birth and building a strong support system, along with a nourishing prenatal yoga 🧘‍♀️ class led by Rachel from Nurtured Souls in Crystal Lake, designed to help you connect, breathe, and trust your body.

And of course, if you have personal questions about your pregnancy, like sleep, mood, digestion, swelling, birth plans, and more, Dr. Stephanie, Dr. Vee, and the PWC Care Team will be there to support you every step of the way.

We can’t wait to meet you and the family you’re growing 😊

See you soon,

Team PWC

Meet Some PWC Moms! ❤️

Meet Alex

Alex has a beautiful baby boy named Boden. 👶🏼 For this sweet momma, she had been preparing her body for Boden to arrive long before he came, even before he was conceived! 💪🏻 Alex’s journey with consistent Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care started with preconception. She said “I knew I wanted to start chiropractic care to prepare my body for pregnancy. And after a few months of care, I got pregnant!” Woohoooo! 🎉 After she got pregnant, her journey continued. It was time to prepare her body for labor and delivery! She says, “I knew that regular adjustments and chiropractic care would greatly benefit my pregnancy and therefore the arrival of our baby… and they did! My body adapted so well to the changes it experienced during pregnancy.” 🙌🏻 Then comes the arrival of baby Boden 😊 after a smooth and healthy delivery! Now it was Boden’s turn too. Alex says, “When Boden was 3 days old, we brought him in for his first adjustment! We have experienced so many positives in his life already and know that chiropractic care has greatly impacted it! From working on improving his latch to hitting the poop button!” 💩IYKYK 😆(And of course, postpartum adjustments for mom to help her body heal and recover!) A full-circle experience for a family that is sure to be full of life and love. Congratulations to this growing family! ❤️

Meet Ellyn

🤰 “I was trying to not get sick from simply moving around…” This mama experienced extreme nausea during both pregnancies, but the second time around was especially hard while also caring for a toddler. She described it as feeling hopeless... like it was never going to end. So she sought care from PWC in hopes that it would bring her some much needed relief! 💜 "The office staff was so kind and caring when they would see me. They showed a lot of empathy, which made me feel seen and cared for while I personally felt like death." As the doctors focused on helping her body balance out and calm her stomach through gentle, neurologically-focused adjustments — the ‘feeling like death’ turned to getting life back again! The daily vomiting stopped and she FINALLY started to feel like herself again. ✨ Now, both Ellyn and her daughter look forward to their continued adjustments to keep them thriving and healthy! Her daughter ‘just loves them’ she says! 🥰

Meet Allie
