In honor of Valentine’s Day, here’s a partner move to have ready for the big day 💕 I love these moves not just for the amazing release they provide. But also for the connection they foster. Partners often feel confused and overwhelmed with how to support. Practice simple but profoundly impactful moves together with Body Ready Birth! Good birth partners want to support you, but they’ve never done this before! But let me tell you a secret, they have something that your Doula and nurse cannot replace (doulas and nurses are important for other reasons). They have love and affection for you that fosters connection, that in turn fosters oxytocin release which facilitates a more easeful birth. So do not discount the power of a connected and supportive birth partner. Not sure if they’re ready? Learn together with our body ready birth program. If you’re expecting, what do you hope your partner can help with for your upcoming birth? Let’s get some ideas going for each other! #birthpartner #birthsupport #birthteam #birthplan #laborprep #laborsupport

Over a decade ago, I was at a long, challenging homebirth transfer birth. This incredible mom was pushing REALLY HARD for hours. I was a new-ish doula, but also an experienced Exercise Physiologist and biomechanics nerd. I asked if I could try something different. I helped my client (who was kneeling- yes with an epidural!!) bring her ankles wider than her knees (aka internal hip rotation). This created more space side to side in the bottom of her pelvis (the pelvic outlet). And guess what? After 3 pushes her baby came out vaginally and cesarean was called off! 👏 Then I put my Exercise Science hat back on and thought to myself: “how could we have prevented that long, intense pushing phase?” The answer? By practicing and gaining access to internal hip rotation IN PREGNANCY. We can and should be both proactive AND reactive. Train this move in pregnancy. Have it in your back pocket for labor just in case. #internalrotation #exercisephysiology #birthphysiology #physiologicalbirth #bodyreadymethod
