21.01.2022 As you breathe in your pelvic floor should naturally go down (drop and open). As you breathe out your pelvic floor should naturally go up (squeeze and lift). Not the opposite.

20.01.2022 Balance. Symmetry. Strong but not too strong. Flexible but not too flexible. This is what we want for your pregnancy to make you the best birther you can be

18.01.2022 Open up your pelvic floor. Let it drop, let it open. Don’t push it down with your belly muscles. Simply let it release. We want it released when you lie down, when you sit and when you stand. We want it released when you are pregnant and when you are post partum. We even want it released when you are in labour. Release it. Let it go

17.01.2022 What birthing positions do you think you will use? What ones would you try if your labour is stalling? What about if your labour is progressing? This one is great to open up the mid pelvis, especially if your labour is stalling at around 6 or 7 cm dilated. Equally it’s a great position to push a baby out in as well. Just pop your hands onto the floor and you can use your hands pushing on the floor to create a bit more pressure when/if you feel you need to.

16.01.2022 Prepare your body, not just your mind for birth. This is why.

15.01.2022 Prepare your mind so it doesn’t look like this just before your birth

14.01.2022 Some days are smooth, others are not. Hopefully you are having a smooth day today

12.01.2022 Visualisation. An amazing birth skill if you can do it. Imagine yourself someplace else. Staring up at palm trees perhaps. This can allow you to focus, stay in the zone. Last that 1 minute contraction.

10.01.2022 Distractions for contractions. Did you use your hands to distract yourself away from your uterus during your contractions? Hands are full of nerves, so they can distract your brain in a big way. Tapping the bed, tapping your leg, sliding up and down your arm, splashing water, squeezing your partners hand. Doesn’t matter what your are doing with them, but you do have to focus on them. It is this focused attention that works to distract your brain away from your uterus, getting you in the zone so that you can make it through. We practice this in our weekly zoom class because focused attention is a skill, and the more you practice the better at it you will be.

07.01.2022 We have drawn this picture a thousand times. The uterus is the organ where the baby lives. The cervix is the end of the uterus. The cervix is the thing that needs to open or dilate to 10cm before the baby can get out of the uterus and descend through the vagina. The vagina is really just like a chute. In order to get through the vagina chute the baby needs to travel through the two layers of pelvic floor. It will hit the deeper layer first, this layer will guide the baby down and though. The next layer is the layer that needs to stretch++ in order for the babies head, then body to be born.

05.01.2022 Water. Did you use water in some way during your labour? Were you in the shower and focusing on it hitting your back or were you watching it hit the floor, or were you rhythmically tapping it on the floor and watching it disperse? Water can be used as a distraction technique. Or the heat of it can be used as pain relief when it hits your back. And of course being in the bath itself can help immensely during second stage, to allow a smooth transition for when your baby is born.

04.01.2022 Did you squeeze your partners finger for hours when you were in labour?

01.01.2022 Make sure you abdominal wall muscles stretch well with your growing baby. We want them not too tight, but not too loose either. Right in the middle is where the magic happens. So although there are definitely things you can’t control when it comes to getting an abdominal separation, we think there are some things you can control too
