True preparation means understanding what your body and baby are actually doing during labour. When you understand how the baby moves through the pelvis, how the uterus works during contractions, and how your pelvic joints and ligaments respond, you can work with your body instead of against it.
This is where biomechanics comes in - by learning positions and movements that correspond to each stage of labour, you can actively support what’s happening physiologically. The right technique at the right time can help baby navigate their journey, optimise the space in your pelvis, and work with the natural rhythm of contractions.
Trying these techniques earlier in pregnancy means you can get a feel for what you might like (and what you really don’t like) during labour, plus you’ll understand exactly why you’re doing them when the time comes.
I cover all of this in my antenatal sessions, so that when labour begins, you’ll stay calm and centred because these movements will already feel familiar and purposeful - not something new being thrown at you in the moment when you need to focus inward.
