This makes the fact that so many hospitals make you lay flat on your back for hours even more shocking

[@esztopiros]

Men think they know it better 😢

[@bronsonleach3573]

​@@esztopirosI am PA Dutch most women in our culture give birth in a bathtub. My mother telling me she gave birth in a hospital I looked at her like she was crazy.

[@kaplingnag7267]

​@@esztopiros*doctors Or are you saying women can't also be doctors?

[@esztopiros]

@@kaplingnag7267 Of course not. But these protocols are in use since majority of childbirth happens in a hospital which was dominated by male doctors by that time. These birth positions were well known by midwifes before.

[@baileymadison9019]

The only time you are forced on your back is if you have an epidural. They haven’t forced people to labor on their back for a while now.

[@Myeyesburnbabyburn]

Women in my family telling me “oh you say you won’t take the epidural but you will watch.” Instead of supporting me. I know it will be painful, and it won’t go as planned always but I will hope for a healthy minimal intervention labor in just a few weeks. 💖

[@DulcesSweets]

Keep that strong mindset and you will do great! Like you said, it's going to be challenging but this is your journey! Wishing you and your little one a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery.

How did things go?

[@kennieloo6357]

All of this can be intuitive. Don’t rely so much on “knowing” your baby’s station to figure out which poses to move through. MOVEMENT is good. Having these tools in the back of your mind is helpful. Just don’t get so stuck on “how low is my baby and what did that gal say to do at this point?” Just tune into your body. Feel your way through labor. Your body was made for this so just listen to what it needs. You don’t need cervical checks. Baby is going to be coming down and out, and the more you pause to check and stress about how far you have or haven’t made it, the less tuning in you’re doing, the less you can just do what your body needs when it tells you in the moment.

[@SarahTesla1]

[@jannahmuslimah]

I needed to hear this!! First natural unmedicated birth coming up ❤

[@andreavp463]

I@@jannahmuslimah that's also how I gave birth to my daughter and I had a beautiful experience. I stayed active and moving a lot during most active labor, then broke the waters, asked my doula to fill the bath and went into it to push her out. I just obeyed my body and felt like I had to do that on all fours. It took only 2.5 hours total, and natural birth helps having an easier postpartum period, too! I wish you a wonderful birthing! Don't let anyone scare you, you can absolutely do this ❤

What a precious information!

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

So glad it’s helpful! 💞

[@DulcesSweets]

It helps to have a visual guide and understanding the baby's position throughout labor even though the body has a natural way of telling us what to do.

[@annap290]

I wish they did this 29 years ago.... I was stuck in a bed on my back and told I could not even get up to walk... Was told 16 year ago my insurance doesn't cover other types of labor. (Saddle blocks, walking, water brith, brith bar, or anything to help me deliver)

[@lauraklabe2259]

Insurance shouldn't even be told what methods were used if extra instruments that cost money weren't involved. Walking around costs them nothing that's insane

[@alyssaheller7860]

I cant believe they wouldnt let you push a baby out in any position that felt right and insurance ONLY covering birth laying on back. Definitely not a woman, or one who gave birth writing that stupid rule and presenting it with a straight fucking face. The nerve of it.

[@ItsGRamirez01]

This is really useful & I actually already do some of these stretches as well in my daily workouts

This is gold! Thank you so much for summarizing all this information in a short video!!!! Straight to the point

[@malkablowy2106]

Wish I had this before my birth

[@AmyJackson-_-85]

Me too. My daughter’s heat rate was irregular and they had to do emergency surgery. I couldn’t do Lamaze because the nurse put an oxygen mask on me. The mask had a bag on it and every time I breathed in the bag would collapse and not fill back up with air. It made it harder to manage pain. Then her heart rate dropped and they took me to surgery.

[@KJ-vg1if]

So well explained ! ❤❤❤

[@r4wsugarrr]

When I watch this video it’s so wild that without knowing this was even possible my body made these exact motions during labor. First my knees were spread apart and just as baby was coming out my knees closed in. I was so scared that I had crushed my baby but really it was my pelvis opening up. 😭🙌

[@mariecamero]

How does one know that baby has reached those “stations”?

[@shannongaines4421]

If you receive vaginal checks the nurse can tell you the station as well as dilation

[@katharina1439]

❤thanks. My birth preparation course starts tomorrow😬 omg. I love being pregnant. Love love love! But I'm a little scared of giving birth🙈

[@tonigoodley6283]

I'm glad you are loving your pregnancy. How far along are you? Do you know if you're having a boy or girl? I'm 34 weeks with my first. I'm having a girl. I loved being pregnant up until last week. Everything was great until I got so huge. I'm 5 foot tall, so I'm all baby now. It's hard to move much less breathe or eat. I wish you great things throughout your pregnancy ❤

[@katharina1439]

@@tonigoodley6283Ou good news💗thank you. I recommend you go to a chiropractor. If you have blocked SI joint / lumbar spine you will have trouble giving birth and even the baby might not turn. I'm 27 weeks. And just come from my chiropractor and massage therapy. I also had problems breathing and thought it was just my belly, but even my ribs were blocked! My whole spine got re-aligned and I feel great again. I'm determined to stay healthy. Fortunately I have the money 😊 It's crazy how big our belly gets🤪 i would never have imagined looking like that😅 but it will keep growing. Oh and if you have a scarf/cloth to bind the baby to your body you can also use it to support your belly during late pregnancy. I have a video for you... it is in German, but you'll see what I mean 😘❤

[@KiwiIsman-ct7xm]

Made me a little anxious about giving birth to my first but, now that I know and have some tips this might help. I'm also due for my baby girl coming any day now some of these positions look reliving.. I hope 😭😅

[@kristinezerebkina9383]

By pushing, usefully after take a breath with mouth, like before diving, leave your mouth open so you don’t strain your face ( it's even impossible with open mouth).

[@sirenamontreala.k.aelibatt4699]

[@gdgmb]

And my doc informed me yesterday that they’ll want me on my back, knees up and wide apart with chin up to reach stomach as if doing crunches.. none of these moves you shared 😢

[@ashleychanelle9668]

If it's safe for you, tell them otherwise. Giving birth on your back is one of the most unsafe and painful positions for you and baby, you are working against gravity. If it's safe for you and baby's health, stay up and moving, maybe water birth to ease the pain. Most doctors just want you on your back out of convenience for them.

[@DulcesSweets]

@@ashleychanelle9668 Agree! You should definitely vocalize your needs and concerns. Go in with a birthing plan and include these moves if you want even if everything doesn't go exactly to plan.

[@thandarlin4540]

Thanks for the tips ❤

[@ramshazafar4013]

Do they actually tell you at hospital what station your baby is at?

[@kellylandefeld2636]

During a pre-natal visit, a rotating physician told my mom and I something that neither of us could ever correctly quote again about my baby's head in my pelvis. He said something about how it was "engaged at negative one" but that "it was perfectly fine" when asked. I told him that I have Ehler Danlos Syndrome (it leads to weak connective tissues), and again "perfectly fine". He told me that I should be fine to make it to my due date in 6 weeks, but ended up having my baby the following week. (She's 17yrs old now! Its ok!) But it seems from viewing your post that I was quite naive. Also, I am wonder about t the "braxton hicks" that I had been suffering for few days prior to my appointment. Next question, when I delivered her, my normal physician showed me the placenta. It was quite obvious where the healthy half ended compared to the part that had detached from the uterine wall at some point. Would you guess these things are Ehler Danlos connective tissue related? (I am the mom of girls, and some have inherited my charm.)

[@alyssalane3442]

Oh wow! This makes me wonder if i should agree to more baby checks while in labor

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

If you aren’t sure if baby is engaged yet mix up the early and mid-pelvis movements. When you feel pressure and the urge to push move to the knees in ankles out poses 💞

[@lovejoy_23]

I had 3 babies naturally, out of hospital and only ever had my cervix checked once, it with my first because labor was progressing so fast she couldn’t believe it. At that point I was in labor about 2 hrs and the midwife told me I was 8 cm dilated but never mentioned the baby’s station. If you listen to your body with what feels good and stay mostly upright, you will often find yourself mixing up your positioning, getting on all fours, leaning and swaying hips etc without really thinking much about it. It definitely helps to review these positions and information on getting baby engaged in case there ever comes a point when labor seems to slow down or you want to speed things up.

[@Poonamkumari-sb9os]

How do I save this video

[@COOLMAD5683]

Hi any positions to help with lying down for dilation and labour? My hospital might only allow for lying down and no squats or all fours are allowed...

[@lovejoy_23]

Lying down is not usually recommended to help labor progress. It’s better to be upright and leaning forward to keep the pressure above the cervix and help with faster dilation. An alternative position in the hospital bed, would be to raise the back upright, turn around with knees on the bed and rest your arms on the top edge. A pillow could also be used in this situation to add comfort to rest your arms and head on. This should look similar to how women use the toilet as a “dilation station“ sitting in reverse to labor.

[@lovejoy_23]

She also has a video using a rolled towel behind the back to give the pelvis more flexibility if you absolutely HAVE to deliver on your back. kzbin.infoxFs1tAst0u4?si=-4ymcfGX3ZxzcxDh

[@accountantintraining4752]

Don't lie down. Screw what they want. When they tell u to push, don't push. Our contractions push baby out more and better, you just breath n go a little at a time.

[@Sheeeeerigirl]

Side lying with a peanut ball could work. Feet together to open pelvis and knees together when you are ready to push.
