I JUST FOUND OUT I AM 4 WEEKS PREGNANT IS IT SAFE TO GO TO THE CHIROPRACTOR? WHEN I GO HE ADJUSTS MY HIPS SHOULD I TELL HIM TO BE GENTLE OR IS IT ALRIGHT

It is perfectly safe for you to get adjusted while pregnant. Like everyone has mentioned, just be sure to tell your doctor so he/she can make the proper changes to your treatment (although this probably won't happen until later on in your pregnancy). The reason for this is because, 1 - you'll obviously have a very big tummy, and 2- the ligaments and pubic symphysis of a pregnant woman get more flexible as she nears closer to her delivery date. Your doctor also won't take x-rays while you're pregnant.
Continued chiropractic care can also alleviate/prevent some of the pregnancy symptoms, like back pain, so keep going! Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS!!

Going to the chiropractor is perfectly safe while you're pregnant. I went to a soft touch chiropractor when I was 8 months pregnant and had no problems. Just tell your chiropractor and he'll make any adjustments that are needed. Since you're only 4wks pregnant it shouldn't be any different from a regular visit. If you go when you're further along, you'll need to make sure he has a "drop down" bed so that you aren't laying on your tummy through the whole adjustment.

i work at a chiropractors office and i am also 6 months pregnatn. i have been adjusted by my boss several times since being pregnant and i am perfectly fine. i think it helps a lot. so dont be worried just let ur chiropractor know u are pregnant. it is perfectly safe. in fact there was one lady who came in adn her baby was breach and she was supposed to deliver within a week and the chiropractor turned her baby the right way so i think it is good.

NO, do not go to the chiropractor at 4 weeks pregnant.
What if something goes wrong and you lose your baby.
Think about it.

I was told that it is okay to go after your first trimester. Just to be on the safe side. I went when I was 13 weeks and i went up until I was 41 weeks. Tell him or her that you are pregnant

Yeah i've gone to the bone cracker my whole pregnancy, just make sure that he knows you're pregnant and they will make adjustments. If you're really worried, ask your ob.

You should be fine. Just make sure the doctor and assistants know you are pregnant. Be sure not to let the use what they call the "ultrasound" or "e-stim" on you. I went to the chiro my entire pregnancy!!
