Fetal Positioning<\/strong>~ Here is the deal, optimal fetal positioning is an actual physical thing, and not a bunch of horse hockey. (You like that? It’s cause I’m trying not to cuss.) Anywhoo, sitting, driving, computering etc all contribute to stiff and underutilized muscles, and in general keep our bodies not especially labor ready. Some type of prenatal fitness is helpful, with of course WALKING being awesome, along with yoga or whatever else you were into prepregnancy. And don’t hate me when I say chasing a toddler doesn’t count.<\/p>\n

  1. One thing that I’ve seen work super well is this daily deal from Spinning Babies,\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0seriously loves, if you had any idea how positively this would affect your labor it would be THE EVENT of the day, top of the self care list. A mal~positioned baby creates a funky labor pattern, most\u00a0times within a hospital setting that is not\u00a0luxury a laboring person gets.\u00a0I especially love that their site has an entire section dedicated to if you are in LABOR RIGHT NOW the best ways to get labor unstalled. This is gold y’all.<\/li>\n
  2. 2nd up is the Dancing for Birth peeps.<\/a> This is some legit moooooves here, and I use these all the time. Think about the pelvis, the more fluid and asymmetrical the hip moves are, the more the baby has an opportunity to reposition and settle down. So instead of clenching up and working\u00a0against the contraction, how about moving with the body?\u00a0To see\u00a0Dancing For Birth in action, check out Instructor and trainer Heather Gream<\/a>\u00a0 showing her moves here, about an hour before baby was born. Pretty sure Christina Aguilera would hop up and dance right with her!<\/li>\n
  3. Lastly, if you are unsure if your belly and uterus could use more support booking a session with an Arvigo Therapy Maya Abdominal Massage practitioner i<\/a>s a great idea!<\/li>\n
  4. Need more help? Schedule a session with a Labor Whisperer, either in person or virtually. Not sure who fits you best? Give a shout in our FB group,<\/a> and we will do our best to fix you up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
