Uterus is a muscle. It’s job it is to contract during the #birthing process to move the baby down and out of the body. These 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. Train with me!

.😩”No one told me how to PUSH!!” Common words after birth from #firsttimemom 👍🏻PUSHING is PHYSICS‼️Stack your diaphragm over your pelvic floor and push towards the extreme rectal pressure. That is your baby’s head causing the extreme rectal pressure. (Your baby does not come out of your rectum.). 🌹The vagina will open up downwards as baby head moves down and out, directly below your body. The vagina aligns itself directly under your diaphragm and pelvic floor. The baby’s head presses the colon and rectum closed upon delivery. 🚫Tucking your chin and curling over your baby holding your breath while someone counts to ten as you bare down is epidural pushing also known as “purple face pushing”. If you are curling over your baby or arching your back you are throwing off the force and pushing is less effective. This leads to longer labor and pushing stage! ✅Stack your diaphragm over your pelvic floor and sit into it towards the extreme rectal pressure creating greater force. Rotate your knees closer together and ankles out no matter your body position!! Let your uterus finish its job…to push baby out of your body! ✅This leads to effective pushing, reducing labor hours & pushing and reduces tearing!! 🙌🏻Physics for the WIN!! Train with me!

“Why didn’t my body dilate?” Is a common question I get. Could be several reasons why... One reason why could be a baby’s head position on the cervix. Sometimes babies try to descend through the pelvis with a tilted head, also known as ascenlytic. The head is not well applied to the cervix so there is no or very slow cervical change leading to an extremely long, arduous labor. Out of balance pelvis can be resolved to have a faster birthing experience. #TrainforBirth workshop has a training program to prepare your body for birth. The exercises in the program bring about balance in the pelvis for baby to navigate the pathway with ease. A well positioned baby for birth leads to a smoother, quick labor and easier pushing phase.

♦️BRAXTON HICKS VS. LABOR CONTRACTIONS Both are a contraction or tightening of the uterus which is a muscle. ♦️Braxton Hicks contractions are toning of the uterus or thirsty muscle. They last under 30 seconds, may or may not have discomfort and can be all over the belly or localized to an area of the belly. No pattern to them and usually happens randomly. Dehydration is the most common reason for these contractions but not limited to this reason. ♦️Labor contractions are the body warming up and contractions to help a baby move through the pelvis and across the finish line. The most typical labor contraction will start in your lower back, wrap around to the front, peak with intensity and fade away. Labor contractions will establish a pattern, get closer together, last longer and become more intense the closer you get to meeting your baby. Labor contractions may not be limited to this sensation. There are variables that can cause a labor contraction to feel different like dehydration, exhaustion, lack of food, your laboring position, your baby’s laboring position to name a few.

. 💧BULGING BAG of WATER during LABOR. Your water has not released. There is water between the amniotic sac around your baby and baby’s head. 🔥When you have a contraction the baby’s head presses downwards and the bulging water sac can be seen on the outside of the vagina. Sometimes you will see baby hair floating within. (It can also bulge within the vaginal canal.) 💧YOUR WATER WILL RELEASE WHEN IT IS INTENDED TO RELEASE!! The water naturally releases 8-10 centimeters and before baby is evicted out of their 9 month living quarters. 💧When the water breaks, baby’s head can make its appearance shortly afterwards to cross the finish line. 👐🏼Sometimes a provider can get handsy and want to pop it. I highly recommend to speak up, have your voice be heard and say no thank you. It will break when it’s intended to break!! 💯Very cool phenomenon to see during birth!! Bulging bag of water does happen, but not talked about very much.

🤷🏻‍♀️Can you move your pelvis like this? Try it! It’s called the GLUTE CRAWL. . ‼️Mobility in your pelvis for birth is super important!! If your pelvis isn’t functioning properly with movement during #pregnancy it won’t function properly during the birthing process.

Providers like to see👶🏽head down by 32 weeks. 40% of👶🏽will still be breech at 32 weeks. This is normal. 96-97% of👶🏽will find their way head down the last 6-8 weeks of pregnancy. 💥Our society has a bad outlook on breech babies being born vaginally. Why? It’s a lost skill set that is no longer trained in the medical field. When one has no training or knowledge in a subject it is feared. Expecting moms are sacred into cesarean birth with a breech baby because the provider does not have the vaginal breech skill set. They fear the process and pass that fear along to their expecting parents. 🌟Breech baby is a variation of normal and can be born vaginally with a provider competent and comfortable in the skill set. If you want a natural birth experience and your baby decides to be born breech, find a competent, confident provide in vaginal breech. Most will be looking for a midwife!! 👏🏻You can encourage your baby to be head down by creating space for baby during pregnancy daily. Baby knows instinctively to be head down. Variations are shown in this video to choose the ones that you feel works best for you. Encourage to start in the second trimester. Ways to Encourage a Head Down Baby: ✔️Awareness of your daily postural habits ✔️Inversions (Spinning Babies Forward Leaning Inversion is a popular one, see resource to learn more) ✔️Psoas Release ✔️Pelvic Floor Release ✔️Webster Certified Chiropractor (Dr Kenyon Godwin, Active Family Wellness Center in video) ✔️Pelvic Floor Therapist (Dr Danyelle Russell, Strong Foundation Physical Therapy in video) ✔️34+ weeks Natural Birth Workshop - Train for Birth👉🏼trainforbirth.com 😉I have helped many 36 week gestation babies find their way head down by creating space within their momma’s body!!

🤭The rumors about eating dates at the end of #pregnancy help to have a better birth…are TRUE!! I have observed it with my own eyes consistently!! ✨Dates have amazing nutritional benefits: natural sugars, fiber, magnesium, potassium, folate, vitamin K. They also support oxytocin and prostaglandin hormones which are both prime laboring hormones!! According to the studies 6 small dates or 3 large dates can lead to: ✔️more dilated at time of admission ✔️decreases early water breaking ✔️higher chance of going into labor spontaneously ✔️reduction use Pitocin needed in labor ✔️shorter first stage of labor ✔️lower cesarean rate Go with the organic dates!! 37 weeks start daily dating!! Eating dates for health benefits has been around for a longgg time in some cultures. Train with me!
