The in person session is class five! We go over labor positions and comfort measures. ➡️This is how partners practice and start to feel confident in how they can support their person during birth ❤️

Walking is a great activity before labor starts and during labor. It’s upright and uses gravity and the walking motion makes asymmetric space in the pelvis . But when the contraction hits and you need support, what do you do? Have your partner create a table top and you lean over them for support. You can sway your hips back-and-forth, and then a support person-Doula, friend, sister, or mother can give you a double hip squeeze, or any other support in the low back or hips. Thank you you to for this great space to teach!!

This birth was a journey, as many are, and so I’m gonna give a shout out to another Doula, Erica Evans, that I had following me and was part of Jenna’s journey! She is featured in the third and fourth photo giving some double hip squeezes for the client. New doulas are sometimes able to shadow births early on in their career to boost their skills. Erica has some great instincts and I can’t wait to see what she does.

We love an upright laboring position for gravity, of course! ➡️Upright positions, help, baby move lower into the pelvis, facilitated by the movement and gravity. This stand supported position also allows her to sway her body and have great connection with her partner. 😜Partners also have to prepare for those stronger contractions when she really needs a stable support to hang onto. 😀She might just drop it like it’s hot 🔥🔥 all of a sudden, so be ready!

I love teaching my in person class and we always have so much fun. The laughter is infectious. It started as they were rocking in the door with all of their bed pillows tucked under their arms one after another. “It’s an adult slumber party” one of the husbands said! Then while demonstrating a position to labor on their sides with all the pillows, we joked that it actually was turning into a slumber party. One mom looked so comfy lying on her side with all the pillows that she commented that she was going to fall asleep.

Decades of research have shown that round-the-clock fetal monitoring does not reliably predict fetal distress, and experts say it leads to many unnecessary surgeries. But it’s still used in nearly every birth in the U.S. because of business and legal concerns, a New York Times investigation found. https://nyti.ms/3WF7yLx
