“Are you comfortable where you are or do you want me to help you move to a different position?”

She was laboring in her bathtub in what I can only describe as a pretzel. 🥨

“No, I think this is working for me.”

I love that she knew that. I love that she felt that.

Because your body KNOWS. And when you know how to listen to it, you can tap into your intuition to guide you through your birth.

Her posterior baby was born just a few minutes later. 💜

Ten tiny toes born on a rainy afternoon.

Did you notice when the sun came out for a few minutes? No kidding, that’s right when this babe was born. ☀️

We’ve got big things happening over here!! 🎉

🌟 Emily and I are creating a course to help guide you through the end of pregnancy and beginning of postpartum. The course will have practical, simple steps you can take to help with the mental, physical, and emotional transition and will be applicable to everyone, regardless of where or how you give birth with knowledge from both the midwifery perspective and pelvic floor health.

And we’re looking for three things:
1️⃣ One person who will be a model for the videos and guides that we’re putting together

2️⃣ Two to three people who are currently at the end of their pregnancy and willing to take the course and give feedback along the way

3️⃣ Your input! What do we definitely need to include?

Social media is great, but a lot of the nuance is lost in a single instagram post. I had a professor in PT school who would say “Well, it depends” and walk away from the conversation. I would feel confused and frustrated by that answer, so now I always want to follow “It depends” with what it could depend on and that makes it really hard to post on social media!!
Have you seen pelvic floor posts that leave you scratching your head? Drop them in the comments and I’ll see if I can help you understand the nuance!!

What about adding pelvic floor education into our prenatal and postpartum groups??

YES PLEASE!!

We are helping clients know their bodies and set them up for a better birth and easier postpartum recovery.

➡️ So obviously, as midwives, our top priority is the health and safety of our clients, but you know what our clients love?

💗 That we can do that in a way that gives them autonomy.

And this provides a space that is safe, supported, and allows for normal, physiological birth.

Clients love how this kind of care makes them feel about themselves, both during their birth and after.

You can have a birth that goes exactly like you’d hoped and still walk away feeling sad, scared, and unsupported.

And you can also have a birth that goes nothing like you’d expected and walk away feeling strong, capable, and empowered.

Some of that depends on your preparation and ability to let labor be what it needs to be and some of it is how your provider shows up for you through those changes.

⭐️ Find the provider that makes you feel seen. It can make all the difference. 💜

It seems like whenever Reneé and I are on call together we have a baby storm! ⛈️

I thought about adding a filter to this to make us look better, but the reality is this is probably how we’ll show up to your birth: messy hair, no makeup, and smiles on our faces! 🤪

You can train for an easier time pushing!

Labor mechanics can be practiced BEFORE you go into labor. That means your body doesn’t have to be “surprised” by the sensations when the time comes.

Emily’s push practice sessions teach you techniques for effective pelvic floor relaxation, breathing, body positioning and how to tap into your intuitive side when the time comes.

This way you can feel empowered when it’s time to push and not overwhelmed!

👉 Want to learn how to practice your push for a better birth? Send us a DM!

“I had so much anxiety around labor and delivery and was not at peace where I was delivering until I found you all.”

Finding the place and the providers that make you feel peace around birth is essential for a straightforward labor and delivery! Those stress hormones that your body makes when you’re anxious can really derail the birth process.

You need calming support to walk you through this unpredictable adventure!

How did you know you’d found the right provider for you when you were expecting? What tips would you give others who are still searching?
