🟣Positions for Pushing can vary widely. Assume the position that feels best for you to meet your baby across your finish line! Positions can be interchangeable on land or in water.
.
🔵Some of you will be restricted on changing positions depending on #birthing environment policies, medical reasons or if been given pain relief.
.
🟢Changing positions and movement help a #baby wiggle through the pathway faster. Get up and change positions if you can!!
.
🟡Speak up for your #birth choices!! Your body! Your birth! Your choice!

3️⃣PELVIC FLOOR EXERCISES FOR PREGNANCY
.
It’s important for the pelvic floor be low and loose during the birthing process. Keeping your pelvis moving during pregnancy will help the pelvic floor move during birth.
.
These 3 exercises will prepare your pelvic floor for when your baby’s head comes in contact with the pelvic floor in the midpelvis. This will help reduce labor stalls as the baby rotates through the midpelvis to cross your finish line.

🥜PEANUT BALL
.
🥜My doula clients have a love/hate relationship with my peanut ball!! Hate it while she uses it but loves it when her baby has crossed the finish line!!
.
🥜Sometimes a baby can come down the pelvis a little crooked or head tilted to one side, it’s called asynclitic. Causes labor and pushing to be a little longer.
.
🥜These peanut ball movements, based on where the baby’s head is located in the pelvis, can help open up the pelvis and help baby straighten out their head as they navigate the pathway.
.
🥜What you do on one leg you do on the other leg for balance! Recommended to do movements through contractions. Your partner and/or doula can help you through it.
.
🥜Highly recommend having your own peanut ball to train with at home. Amazon store link in bio, Train for Birth list. Go buy one!

👶🏽POSTERIOR BABY or OP (occiput posterior) BABY or Baby in Your Back
👶🏽Posterior baby back of head (occiput) is up against your sacrum/spine area baby looking towards pubic bone. May cause lower back discomfort.
👶🏽Baby can rotate if given the space and opportunity to rotate! Some babies need labor contractions to make the rotation.
👶🏽Here a few techniques to create space to encourage baby to rotate to the anterior side of your body. Do the techniques daily‼️
👶🏽Ideally we want baby to have the back of head by pubic bone, looking at sacrum/spine area. It is the ideal place to be for birth.

Uterus is a muscle. It’s job it is contract during the birthing process and evict the baby out of its living quarters the last 9 months, five or take a few weeks or days.
.
These uterine contractions press baby’s head down onto the cervix to dilate (open) and efface (thin) until fully open.
.
Your body will have as many contractions as needed to fully open up for your baby to cross your finish line. Your body is phenomenal during the birthing process!

😰”I DON’T WANT TO TEAR!!”
PUSHING
🚫HARD & FAST
✅SLOW & STEADY
.
✅Allow baby’s head to stretch your perineum!! Your perineum is like a rubber band. IT WILL STRETCH!!
.
🙌🏻The relaxin hormone in your body allows your body to open and stretch!!
.
🌬Focus on short breaths or pants as the uterus does it’s job pushing your baby’s head out of your body allowing the perineal tissues time to stretch.
.
✅Perineum support is an option to reduce the chances of tearing. Ask you healthcare provider what type of perineal support they will offer to you during a vaginal delivery if you request it.

✨✨TRAIN YOUR MIND✨✨
✨The birthing process will have some level of discomfort and some level of intensity for each of us. You can train your mind for it!
.
🦵🏼Wall sits create discomfort in the quads as they contract. Your legs will start to burn and then shake with the intensity over time. Hold it as long as you can safely.
PRACTICE:
🌬BREATHING
✨BIRTH ZONE aka MENTAL FOCUS
.
✨Wall sits train your coping skill set to get to the other side. You can’t quit a contraction! Build up to a 1.5 minute hold.
.
1️⃣Sit down on wall as if you are sitting in a chair. Press your lower back into the wall to fire the quads and take the pressure off your knees. Make sure your feet are firm on the ground and won’t move.
.
2️⃣Drop your shoulders, release your hands, relax your face, loosen your glutes, breathe. Focus your mind on something other than the contraction, burning, shaking sensation.
.
3️⃣Train with intensity!! Birthing a baby will have intense moments!! When a wall sit becomes easy…squeeze a ball between your knees for more intensity and then increase again with adding weight.
.
🦵🏼Wall sits also build strong, sexy birthing legs to keep your body upright to use gravity on your birthing game day.

“You are complete, 10 centimeters, let’s try some practice pushes.” I was told this exact thing 23+ years ago with my first born. It took me 2.5 hours to push his 9.8oz #baby body across my finish line with a nurse pressing down on top of my belly! (Kudos to those who know this maneuver and the why.)
☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼Y’all still being told this exact same thing these days!
.
🤍I was ignorant back then! Not any more! I am sharing my knowledge with you so you can be in the KNOW about #naturalbirth !
.
💥DO NOT start pushing unless your body is spontaneously pushing!! Your body is ready to birth your baby and your baby is ready to be born when spontaneous pushing begins. It is an amazing phenomenon!
.
💪🏻When your uterus is ready to evict the baby, you will experience the fetal ejection reflex (FER)! You feel pushy or grunty and then the overwhelming bear down urge to push kicks in. You can’t stop it! (May or may not experience this sensation with an epidural.) Let your uterus finish its job!
.
💥If your body is NOT spontaneously pushing, it’s NOT time to start pushing just because you are a 10! This is what we are conditioned to think and how we are being coached into pushing in certain birthing environments. Let your body guide you through the birthing process!
.
Reasons:
1️⃣Baby is still high in the pelvis and needs to labor down a bit more with contractions.
2️⃣Baby may need to finish the rotation through the pelvis before pushing.
3️⃣Baby may need time to reposition for a better position to exit the pelvis.
4️⃣It just might be your body isn’t ready to birth a baby or your baby is not quite ready to be birthed.
.
Randomly pushing at 10cm…could lead to pushing for HOURS! You don’t want to push that long! It’s utterly EXHAUSTING! Not to mention baby may not like the extra squeezes and start communicating with their heart beat “I don’t like this!”
.
🤍PATIENCE is the key to #childbirth ! Why we keep rushing it all the time?!
.
✨It’s beautiful!✨It’s magical!✨I totally believe in the innate #birthing process!✨Do you?

(No cervical exam was performed in the creation of this reel. Not my skill set. Educating expecting parents only!) #laboranddelivery #preggo
‼️VAGINAL CHECKS ARE OPTIONAL‼️
.
You have to give consent before a vaginal check is done during pregnancy and labor! You should be asked:
Do you want a vaginal exam?
Are you ok with me checking your cervix today?
.
A YES or NO answer to the question so it is very clearly stated!
.
There are providers who start cervical checks at 36 weeks to start planting the seed to expecting moms for induction or cesarean because this is how they like to doctor.
.
‼️YOU ARE 36 WEEKS!! NOT EVEN FULL TERM YET!‼️ Your cervix will not be dilated. Plus you need contractions to push baby’s head down onto the cervix to cause dilation.
.
‼️NO CONTRACTIONS NO DILATION‼️It takes strong, intense contractions for your body to open up fully for baby to come out.
.
Keep the providers out of your vagina during pregnancy!! Help keep youself off the routine standard route to induction or cesarean because it is how your provider wants to deliver your baby.
.
🔥WHAT DO YOU WANT?🔥
.
💯Birth is about YOU!! Your body, your birth, your baby. What birthing experience do you desire?
👉🏼EDUCATE. KNOW. TRAIN.👈🏼
To make educated decisions about your birthing experience!
.
It starts with BIRTH PREP 101! Free💫Virtual💫Live class first Wednesday of the month. Both expecting parents should watch and learn together. Never know you might learn a little something different about birth that what we are conditioned to believe.

You have to give consent before a vaginal check is done during pregnancy and labor! You should be asked:
Do you want a vaginal exam?
Are you ok with me checking your cervix today?
.
A YES or NO answer to the question so it is very clearly stated!
.
There are providers who start cervical checks at 36 weeks to start planting the seed to expecting moms for induction or cesarean because this is how they like to doctor.
.
‼️YOU ARE 36 WEEKS!! NOT EVEN FULL TERM YET!‼️ Your cervix will not be dilated. Plus you need contractions to push baby’s head down onto the cervix to cause dilation.
.
‼️NO CONTRACTIONS NO DILATION‼️It takes strong, intense contractions for your body to open up fully for baby to come out.
.
Keep the providers out of your vagina during pregnancy!! Help keep youself off the routine standard route to induction or cesarean because it is how your provider wants to deliver your baby.
.
🔥WHAT DO YOU WANT?🔥
.
💯Birth is about YOU!! Your body, your birth, your baby. What birthing experience do you desire?
👉🏼EDUCATE. KNOW. TRAIN.👈🏼
To make educated decisions about your birthing experience!
.
