Happy Thursday!
I am sharing a unique story with you all today about my recent patient’s birth experience using my prenatal physical therapy and doula services.
I began working with her during her first trimester when she was experiencing persistent nausea and dizziness. Since this time, I will also be her support doula. We discussed her birth plans and explored ways to make this birth experience distinct from her previous one.
Here comes a list of things we’ve worked on during her pregnancy:
* Improving posture alignment to optimize baby positioning
* Craniosacral therapy to help with overall discomfort
* Pilates, yoga-based exercises on maintaining a physical level
* Manual therapy to address tension imbalance
* Pelvic floor muscle training
* Different types of breathing
* Pushing techniques for labor
* Perineal stretches to improve flexibility
* Review birth plans
Last week, a unique and unforgettable moment took place as the patient’s contractions started and rapidly progressed into full-blown labor.
This beautiful mom bravely pushed through, and with the help of amazing midwives and nurse practitioners, we welcomed this gorgeous and healthy baby into the world in just two hours.
And the best part? The mother only encountered some soreness in her lower back and a small first-degree tear, which she is expected to recover from with great ease!
Patient review: “I feel really awesome about how everything went and all the care I’ve received today. This was my redemption birth, haha.”
It is my absolute pleasure to be part of her journey. I am incredibly proud of this awesome mom who cared for herself, fought for the birth she wanted, and absolutely crushed it!
