How the PELVIS Moves and What This Means For Labor

[@charitywsilva]

This is super helpful! Thank you! I didn't know about the Dutch pelvis before but it's so much easier to understand that way!!

[@birthtoolbox]

Wonderful! I hope you’ll find more helpful videos here. ❤️Alice

I google show a baby moving through the pelvis for class and you came up Alice

[@birthtoolbox]

Love it!

@Alice Turner this is an excellent video!! I had a BPP ultrasound this morning. I was told her head is nice and low, but a little alarmed to learn that baby is facing my left instead of back. I've been watching positioning videos, but didn't want to disengage her and risk her flipping the other way! I can't tell you how relieved I am to know that she's going to navigate just fine! Thank you!!

[@birthtoolbox]

You are SO CLOSE! Please report back and let us know how labor goes. Wishing you a smooth labor and birth.

I had an amazing labour and delivery on May 29, 2021! Thank you so much for taking the time to post all these videos. We slow danced while hubby put pressure on my lower back, he reminded me to be limp and loose, and I horse lipped through almost every contraction. Lol. I will forever be grateful for your Childbirth Prep Course! Thank you!!

@@melissaostrihon1781 Limp and loose for the win! Thank you for coming back and sharing your story. I am so happy that the childbirth class made a positive impact.

Thanks for video! It explained a lot to me. I have one question: What is the best position to give birth according to You?

[@birthtoolbox]

I think my favorite birthing positive is kneeling and leaning forward (like on the side of a birth tub or the back of a bed).

[@deniseneuendorf3577]

Wow! So much I didn’t know!

[@birthtoolbox]

So glad to hear!

[@MrKmariah]

Lots of great info!

[@birthtoolbox]

Glad it was helpful!

[@coraljeannesmith5659]

[@birthtoolbox]

Try Childbirth Graphics!

[@aprilstar3572]

Very informative

[@birthtoolbox]

Glad to have you here!

[@mkdempisi]

learnt a lot in such a short video

[@birthtoolbox]

Wonderful! That's the goal.

[@stajadasq3575]

Nice video. After giving birth, I'm feeling a lot of instability and pain in the pelvic area and knew nearly nothing regarding the anatomy of the pelvis. This was very informative and gives more clarity as to why I feel loosy goosy in the front and sides after birth. About how long after birth does it take for the flexibility in the pelvis to decrease so I can feel stabilized and no 'grinding' again?

[@birthtoolbox]

It really varies. I should improve over the next few weeks.

[@hannataylor2254]

I know this isn’t on the topic but what are ways to prevent shoulder dystocia during birth and what are ways to prevent tearing during birth

[@birthtoolbox]

There really isn't a way to prevent shoulder dystocia. For preventing tearing: good nutrition, hydration and avoiding an epidural for more control over pushing can help.

[@bluerivergirllexi]

@@birthtoolbox early low quality evidence studies showed that women with epidurals were more likely to tear but then it was shown that it was primiparity, not the use of epidurals, that was the actual issue. There is good evidence in favor of perineal massage, which can be started at home by mom as early as 32 weeks.

Interesting!

[@birthtoolbox]

Glad you think so!

[@Noor123195]

Awsomeee

[@birthtoolbox]

Hope you continue to enjoy the videos!

[@kellypatterson9456]

I saw a coworker who’s hips spread evidently after she came back to work after childbirth. Her hips never went back. My pelvis never spread so c sec.

[@birthtoolbox]

Interesting

[@bernpil4148]

Great info

[@birthtoolbox]

Glad it was helpful! And thank you for joining me during the live class last night.

[@kellyloughroadyoga6896]

Not sure why the word woman has now been replaced with pregnant person. It's a good video apart from that. Let's just replace thousands of years of female history and womanhood. I'm really tired of this.

[@birthtoolbox]

ok

[@jmjpowerjoule]

It was all planned - LOL (wife of person who owns this account)...

[@bluerivergirllexi]

that was pretty clear from the "look I have a pelvis right here! " moment LOL.

[@birthtoolbox]

@@bluerivergirllexi It does seem that way, but totally wasn't the case. We were filming in Sharon's childbirth classroom and she has props for almost every topic that was on the wheel that day.

[@OurForeverMemories]

Why do America practice laying on your back if it’s not beneficial for the mother?

[@birthtoolbox]

Great question!!

[@melissaostrihon1781]

Right?!

[@steffilomi9328]

Because doctors want to have a visual control about the progress?
