Deciding to have a baby is one of the biggest choices a patient will ever make, and with that choice comes a new world of the unknown. While pregnancy and childbirth are the most natural things in the world, our Western culture has turned having a baby into a multi-million dollar "disease" industry and essentially convinced women that a natural approach is unattainable. However, there is an important role you can play in helping patients decide whether a wellness pregnancy is right for them. Here are some of the areas in which you can provide guidance to help patients make that important decision.

Recently, a new mom who entered my office with musculoskeletal complaints relating to her thoracic and lumbar regions. During my usual consultation and history, we discussed an interesting issue brought up by the patient as a concern. I do not believe she thought I could do anything about the problem she was experiencing; she just brought it up as part of our consultation.
