Fun fact: cervical dilation doesn't always tell you exactly what's happening in labor. In fact, many people labor without any exams.

While exams can have a place, especially in births requiring medical intervention, exact dilation is such a small part of the overall puzzle.

Birth workers, what signs of progress do you notice in labor?

Absolutely incredible! 💕 This brought tears to my eyes. As a mama who didn’t get her immediate skin-to-skin with my first two babies, that contact right after birth made a world of difference.

Okayyyy, what are we doing here? 🙃🙃🙃 This might look super weird, but it can actually be very helpful for babes that are a tad stuck.

Basically you're reversing gravity, allowing the weight of your uterus to gently tug at the ligaments connecting to your pelvis so they can stretch and soften. It can allow for better balance alignment in your pelvis, which allows baby to get into a better position for birth. Cool huh? Would you try it?

⭐️ Hospital Tip! Those tricked-out beds aren't for nothing. Face down towards the foot of the bed with your elbows at the bottom of the bed, and slowly lower the bottom of the bed down. E Voilà! Instant inversion!

⚠️Make sure you have a spotter for this in case you get lightheaded. We don't want this to end tragically. 🤕
