Check out our sequence The Birth Salutation. Much like the Sun or Moon Salutation, this sequence is a homage to one of the greatest powers we are aware of in this life. The Birth Salutation is a daily practice designed to promote balance, strength, flexibility, circulation and optimal fetal position. When the uterine ligaments and pelvic floor muscles become too tight or strained, our babies can have a hard time finding a comfortable position to be born in. This can lead to long labors and unnecessary c-sections. Even if you are not pregnant, this sequence may help you to prepare for the metaphorical birth of something you are working to create in your life, a project, a new lifestyle, a career change, etc. In a nutshell, the Birth Salutation helps us to get out of our own way and allow whatever is growing inside of us to be released into the world. Enjoy!

When I did Hypnobirthing this is what I envisioned. This mama actually birthed her baby in the ocean! So amazing! If you could give birth anywhere (go ahead, let your imagination run wild) where would it be?

Woman Gives Birth To Baby In Pacific Ocean Without Medical Help

A video clip of a woman from Nicaragua giving birth on the shoreline of Playa Majagual, Nicaragua went viral.

Josy Peukert and her partner Benni Cornelius drove to the beach in Playa Majagual, Nicaragua to deliver their son, Bodhi. Bodhi was born healthy at 3.5kg.

Peukert delivered her baby without medical help. The couple only had a birthing tool kit, including towels, a bowl with a sieve to catch the placenta, gauze, and paper towels.

Peukert explained the reason to give birth in the ocean:

I got this idea in my head I wanted to give birth in the ocean and because the conditions were right on the day that's what I did.

According to Daily Mail, Peukert talked about the experience:

After Bodhi was born and wrapped up in towels I went back into the ocean to freshen up. Then I got dressed and we packed everything up and drove home where the three of us got straight into bed.

After sharing her experience online, Peukert received divided comments about her choice to give birth in the sea.

However, Peukert, who is now a mother of four, stood by her decision:

Bodhi was born in the midday sun when it was about 35 degrees, we weren't worried at all that he'd be cold and I had no concerns about waterborne infections. He is perfectly healthy. I did all the research I needed to to make sure it was safe.

My first birth was traumatic in a clinic and my second birth was a home birth but by the third even a midwife in my home was too much. This time I had no doctors appointments or scans or outside influence.

We didn’t have a due date or deadline for the baby to arrive we just trusted that our baby would make its way. I had no fears or worries to welcome a new little soul into our lives, just me, my partner and the waves. It was beautiful.

Good advice. She wants to sleep in, a break, a clean house she didn’t have to clean, a good meal she doesn’t have to cook or clean up after.
