⭐️ Action at the bottom of the pelvis. Narrow, wide, up and down; bits of movements for baby to wiggle down and out. ⭐️ Observe the stars attached to the sit bones (bottom side of the pelvis) and how they move based on what the legs are doing. ⭐️ Your pelvis and legs work together creating room for baby to navigate the pathway. ⭐️Baby exiting pelvis, best for knees closer together, ankles out so the femurs rotate and make the bottom of the pelvis a little wider for baby to cross the finish line. ⭐️ Small alternating hips movements can also provide more room for baby. More you wiggle, the more wiggle room you create for baby to cross your finish line to meet you!! Train with me!

Our modern world we sit way too much due to our electronics, 8 hour desk jobs or long commutes to work and back. I would like to bring up your awareness on your daily postural habits. ✅Your body position matters during pregnancy! Start early and develop positive postural habits that encourage #baby to be head down and on the left of your body for birth. 😫Nothing worse than gliding through your #pregnancy thinking everything is great, no one telling you your body position matters and at 36 weeks you hear those scary words “YOUR BABY IS BREECH!” 👶🏽3-4% of babies will remain #breech at birth. They are breech for a reason. Babies are smart and will stay in safe positions. That means 96-97% of babies will be born head down. 👶🏽Baby will grow and adjust in the spaces you allow. That is your body positions on a routine basis. If you constantly sit/lay, day after day in the same positions…lean the same way, recline backwards to take the pressure off, one foot under your pelvis, adjust to where baby is growing, etc, you are telling baby “grow here” this is the space I have for you. 🤰🏻Pregnancy favorable body positions will encourage baby to be head down. This also makes exercise and hydration very important during pregnancy. We want the tissues of the body responsive when it’s your #birthing game day! TRAIN WITH ME!!

🤭The rumors about eating dates at the end of #pregnancy help to have a better birth…are TRUE!! I have observed it with my own eyes consistently!! ✨Dates have amazing nutritional benefits: natural sugars, fiber, magnesium, potassium, folate, vitamin K. They also support oxytocin and prostaglandin hormones which are both prime laboring hormones!! According to the studies 6 small dates or 3 large dates can lead to: ✔️more dilated at time of admission ✔️decreases early water breaking ✔️higher chance of going into labor spontaneously ✔️reduction use Pitocin needed in labor ✔️shorter first stage of labor ✔️lower cesarean rate Go with the organic dates!! 37 weeks start daily dating!! Eating dates for health benefits has been around for a longgg time in some cultures. Train with me!

🚽BEST PLACE TO DILATE!! Allows the pelvis to open about 30% more and the only natural place we allow our pelvic floor to drop. 🚽Adding a step under both legs or just one leg allows the pelvis to tilt at different degrees for baby to move down through the pelvis. 🚽Laboring on the toilet allows the #contractions to intensify and pressing baby’s head down onto the cervix, which allows it to open 🚽One position on the toilet, like lifting one leg can cause stronger contractions than the other positions. The uterus realizes there is more room and SQUEEZES #baby down with more intensity!! 🚽I’ll be HONEST, you won’t like it because of the intensity BUT if you want to hold your baby faster...highly recommend #laboring on the toilet!! 🚽Pillows on the tank, lid up, bare bottom down on the seat like you are using the restroom while laboring. 🚽3 contractions flat feet, 3 contractions right leg up, 3 contractions left leg up. Lay your head down on the pillows in between contractions and let it all go low and loose. Partner can provide comfort measures while you labor.

Vital birth coaching… 🔥Fight, tight, tense, wish it wasn’t happening makes the labor more intense with more discomfort creating a longer, exhausting #birthing process. ✅Calm, low, loose, finding your rhythm with your hips while running each contraction, using the #contractions to work baby through your pelvis helps reduce laboring hours and decreases intensity. 🫵🏼You are in control of your birthing process. Lose yourself in the field of labor (birth zone) and labor your baby across your finish line!! Natural #birth is designed for all mammals to birth their live young.
