This is why we do what we do! Birth Boot Camp is not just for first time parents. If you want something different from your first birth experience, if you have a new partner, if it's been awhile between births or if you're preparing for a VBAC, our workshop is just what you're looking for. We've had plenty of families come to us for many of the above reasons and here's what one of them had to say:

We now know that it is better to allow a baby time to regulate its own blood volume and take the blood that it needs from the placenta after birth.
🩸
Early cord clamping can lead to increased rates of anaemia and decreased neurological (brain) development.
🩸
It is crucial that a baby is allowed to complete their own transition to optimal condition outside the uterus without any interference from cord clamping.
🩸
But not all babies are equal and some will need more time than others. Each baby’s transition from intrauterine life to extrauterine life is a very individual process.
🩸
For this reason, it is not always helpful to use arbitrary time limits to determine how long to wait before clamping and cutting the cord.
🩸
Unless there is a problem (such as a tear in the cord or the mother is bleeding heavily), it may be better to watch the condition of the baby than to use arbitrary time limits.
🩸
People may find it helpful to use the phrase “wait for white” to describe how the cord looks white and floppy once the transition is complete and the baby has adjusted to life outside the womb.

Having a birth ball at home is a must, I’ve had mine for 10 years (3 births), it’s an inexpensive but vital tool for labour 🙌🏽

Why use a birth ball? The birth ball comforts and strengthens your lower back. Your pelvis is better supported and symmetrical as well.
When? During pregnancy and while in labor.
We have some really helpful advice about using a birth ball on our website: https://www.spinningbabies.com/pregnancy-birth/techniques/birth-balls/
Raise your hand in the comments if you’ve ever used a birth ball 🙋‍♀️
