Dive into the enthralling world of motherhood with Marie Carle, labor and delivery nurse, as she pulls back the curtain on her personal journey through pregnancy, delivery, and raising children. Marie, a mom to three daughters, brings a unique perspective to the table as she harmoniously merges her professional insights with her personal experiences. From managing gestational diabetes to navigating morning sickness, Marie's story is a testament to the power of resilience, intuition, and the love of a mother.
Stepping onto the labor and delivery floor, we delve into the intricacies of labor support and pain management.

We also discuss the significance of rest when you’re dating for a newborn, trusting your intuition as a parent, and the impact of various interventions on the laboring down process. Our discourse concludes with reflections on parenting and the importance of teaching children hum

Dr. Betel Aklilu Discusses the Impact of Chiropractic Care on Pediatric Health
Join us in this enlightening conversation on the world of pediatric chiropractic care with the remarkable Dr. Betel Aklilu. Promising a fresh perspective, Dr. Aklilu shares how chiropractic medicine can be a game-changer for your child's health, starting from birth. Starting with the physical trauma that newborns undergo during childbirth and how chiropractic care can alleviate the stress on their tiny muscles and joints, setting them on a path to optimal nerve and muscle function.
We journey further into the extensive benefits of pediatric chiropractic care. Get insights on how conditions such as torticollis, fluid-filled ears, and latching problems, can be addressed by a pediatric chiropractor. Dr. Aklilu illustrates the transformative Webster technique, a chiropractic method designed to help pregnant people. She also explains how a misaligned atlas can be the root cause of many of the common newborn troubles that many allopathic providers consider to be "normal".
Lastly, we elevate our discussion to encompass the holistic wellness that chiropractic care can bring to your child's life. As Dr. Aklilu underscores, chiropractic solutions are not just for immediate relief but for long-term health. She gives an account of how pediatric chiropractors work hand in hand with other healthcare professionals like pediatric dentists and ENTs to create a comprehensive care plan. In the end, you'll walk away with a newfound understanding of the role of movement in nourishing joints, why it's important not to tightly swaddle a baby's hips and legs, and the benefits of chiropractics for breech babies. This episode is not just an intriguing introduction to pediatric chiropractic care, but a call to embrace it for your child's health and wellbeing.
