“Is my baby too big?”

When it comes to fitting through the pelvis, head size is less important than the angle of the baby’s head. When baby’s chin is tucked, their flexed head measures smaller than the same size. Balancing the pelvic muscles and smarter birth positions to help baby curl their spine and tuck their chin are part of the Spinning Babies® protocol. Follow the link to learn all the reasons baby's size doesn’t have to complicate your birth.

Walcher’s: Open The Brim is a technique when labor contractions are close and strong but baby is high and not yet in the pelvis.⁣
⁣
Why? Walcher’s position will allow contractions to engage a baby that is high, not really in the pelvis yet. The baby may be stuck at the brim or inlet of the pelvis.⁣
⁣
Though this technique is effective to help a baby engage it is intense on the lower back for most people. A few people love this position, but most don’t. Try the following first:⁣
• 10 contractions with Abdominal Lift and Tuck for someone who can stand ⁣
• 5 posterior pelvic tilts on one side and 5 on the other for someone in bed⁣

This past weekend I have attended the Spinning Babies Confluence. It has been a truly fantastic weekend of wisdom, stories, community and inspiration sharing. Professionals from all over the world have shared their knowledge about birth and how to integrate Spinning Babies into their practice. Midwives, nurses, obstetricians, body workers and Doulas, all coming together to Change Birth On Earth. Because let's be honest, we can do so much better!!! This is Gail Tully's, the founder and creator of Spinning Babies first book. So excited to have a copy of it and continue to learn how to best support birthing families.
If you are an expectant parent and would like to learn more about how Spinning Babies can make your pregnancy more comfortable and how to bring ease at birth, get in touch!! 💜🙏🏻 I'd love to support you through your journey!
