I've heard it is safe...from a Chiropractor, but haven't had any first hand experience with it. So early in the pregnancy, I can't imagine that it wouldn't be safe....

I am married to a chiropractor, and got adjusted through my entire pregnancy. It's safe and beneficial. :) Just make sure and let them know you are pregnant.

I went after every one of my OB appointments as well as the day before my induction. It helped so much especially as I got bigger and the baby was putting more pressure on my pelvis. I am 8 weeks and have been twice this go around. Just make sure you check with your OB first to make sure there isn't anything that would prevent you from going. It was a lifesaver for me.

I was going THREE DAYS A WEEK and didn't know I was pregnant for the first 51/2 MONTHS. <<INSERT OMG! HERE>>

Once you get bigger they MAY have a different table they use. Mine did. They EVEN had a pad to lay on if you nurse. They THINK of EVERYTHING! :)

Absolutely safe. Was adjusted many times w/ both pregnancies. With my daughter, the last couple weeks, my chiroprator adjusted me for free to "get me ready for labor".

It saved me with my second pregnancy! They modify your adjustments as your body changes. With the constant changes your body goes through while pregnant, adjustments see like the natural thing to do. LIFE SAVER

Yes, it is safe. It is actually very helpful. I went all the way through my last pregnancy and had very little back pain throughout it as a result. Make sure you tell him right away that you're pregnant. As your belly grows, they can adjust the table to make it more comfortable for you.

Absolutely safe and yes mandatory for me too, as those ligaments stretched and I got heavier, then baby was breech and sitting on my nerve (although they still do afterward..lol!)

If you are only two months pregnant I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be safe but then again, I am not a doctor. Have you called your chiropractor?
