Pregnancy and Chiropractic 1978 (Form No. 279)

In 1978 (and until 1993), Midwifery was against the law in the State of California. Women wanting to have natural childbirth at home were literally forced underground — many Midwives circumvented this law by practicing as licensed Chiropractors or under the license of a Chiropractor. This pamphlet is ephemera from that era (1967-1993):

Mental Attitude Also Important
Your mental attitude during pregnancy should be considered, too. A bright outlook on life can help make these nine months a pleasure rather than a burden. Good common sense tells us that a woman free of pain, at ease and relaxed, concious that every necessary measure is being taken for the welfare of both herself and her child, will naturally have a better mental attitude than the woman who is afraid of suffering. Chiropractic care can help you achieve this assurance and, therefore, have a cheerful mental attitude.
