First off, I am jealous because I LOVED going to my chiropractor.
The first appointment was an assessment, and I even had x-rays done to get a better feel for the problem. After that, each appointment was 20 mins with the electro-heating pad thing (awesome), then he adjusted me. The neck adjustment freaked me out every.single.time.
I really should have gone during pregnancy but I had never been before so I was nervous about going. I am excited about having my pain go away but my mom warned me that I will be sore today since it is my first time to go.
You'll love it, might be a smidge tender after the first adjustment but man is it great stuff! I still go regularly. the 25 pound 7 month old is a wee bit hard on the lower back lol.
Relax and enjoy. My advice is to give it enough time to work. I was really messed up when I started going and went three times a week for a while. Now I go once weekly (I have a very physical job).

Good luck! I hope you feel better!
