Answer
Hello Kate- so I am assuming you conceived on March 7- is that correct? If you were my mdiwifery client, I would be urging you to see a chiroptactor NOW and continue throughout your pregnancy.I would also urge you to seek out the care of a midwife who will help you to obtain and maintain the optimum health possible. Your dr will know next to nothing about nutrition.
