Huzzah magical beings!
This week I am going to share with you a tiny bit about how a Birth Wizard supports a birther physically during labor and delivery.
✨Massage and Counter pressure - All during labor a birthers body is pushing and pulling in various ways. With massage and counter pressure, this can help alievate some of the pain and strain caused by contractions. This can help relax the birther increase oxytocin, get relief for a moment, and actually progress labor quicker.
✨ Create a calming environment - How do you releax after a hard day at work, or taking time for self care, or even to be intimate. This environment is the same environment to maximize relaxation and oxytocin during labor and birth.
✨ Helping the birther into positions - This one sounds pretty self explanatory. There are many ways to move a body to help progress labor. Your Birth Wizard keeps that knowledge for you until the right moment to help you ease into a new position.
✨ Assisting with water therapy, or a damp cloth - Have you ever had a physically exhausting day, hop into the shower and just feel the water run over you. It melts away the stress and anixty, relaxes the muscles, and creates a calmness inside of you. Same thing applies to labor. Your Birth Wizard can help facilitate/set up a cool or warm cloth, a shower, or even a pool of water to help ease the pain away.
✨ Lastly, Helping get things like food or ice chips - a Birth Wizard is literally a set of hands with the sole purpose to help your labor and birth, this includes helping you hydrate and have a bite to eat.
