    • Did you know about this??? Contrary to what is known as "normal pushing position," keeping your knees open can actually narrow your pelvic outlet. This can make it more difficult for your baby to come out. 🤔Do all women need to keep their knees together for birth? Not necessarily, but some need a little extra room to get their baby out. Putting your knees together moves the sitz bones and widens the pelvic outlet. In this video, I exaggerated the space made so you could see it well. In reality, it makes about a centimeter or two more room, but much of the time, that's all your baby needs to birth! Happy pushing!! 🥳 #postpartumnurse #babynurse #birth #doula #pregnancy #labor
    • Birmingham moms deserve a chance to have the birth they desire. Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class is a great first step to that! Now offered at St Vincent's Birmingham and my new location @thriveptal! I'm so excited to make this available to more mothers! Spinning Babies® is a physiology first approach that teaches the mother how to add balance and make space in her own body, so that her baby can turn into the ideal position for birth. Come join us as we are "changing birth on earth!" Schedule in bio. #birminghammoms #pregnancy #spinningbabies #spinningbabiesparenteducator
    • Here's what you can do 👇 🤍In the early postpartum days and weeks, make sure you are resting horizontally (flat). This takes all the pressure off of a recovering pelvic floor. 🩺I recommend to start seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist at 6 weeks postpartum... BECAUSE... The pelvic floor stretches to about 250% of its regular length in birth. (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9528725/) That's one heck of a stretch!!! This is why one of our top goals in postpartum is strengthening the pelvic floor. This will help prevent future symptoms like leaking pee, spotting in exercise, and heavy feelings down low. If you're pregnant, you can go ahead and see a pelvic floor physical therapist or take a Spinning Babies Birth Prep Class to prepare your pelvic floor for birth. #postpartum #postpartumnurse #babynurse #doula #fourthtrimester #pregnancy
    • Storytime!! 📖 I stepped into the doula role for a client recently. While she was in labor, she asked to get on her hands and knees. Her nurse told her no. The patient spoke with kindness in her voice and said, "Why not?" The nurse paused and said, "Well, I guess you can, as long as your baby looks okay." Later the patient asked for a friend to come in and attend her birth. The nurse replied, "That's not allowed." The patient again asked gently, "Why not?" The nurse then said, "Well, I guess I can ask the doctor." Off she went to ask, and the OB obliged. 💭KEEP IN MIND 💭 💙Nurses and doctors aren't bad people who are trying to control your birth. 💙They are trained with a medical mindset on how to MANAGE labor and birth. 💙Their goals are to keep you and your baby safe within protocol and policy parameters. 💙They've seen the worst of the worst and never want to have another patient experience it. Keeping a collaborative, shared decision-making approach by asking kind questions helps everyone in the room feel safe, honored, and will lead to better outcomes. #doula #babynurse #postpartumnurse #birth #labor
    • The care of your support person in labor is a game changer! ❔Did you know that close touch, words of affirmation, and even kisses releases oxytocin which helps you feel comforted, calm, and safe in birth? All of this will help decrease pain. Intentional Care like... 🤍Slow dancing 🤍Handing her drinks and snacks 🤍Massaging tense places 🤍Playing her favorite music 🤍Making her laugh 🤍Being mindful of what she needs ▶️▶️All of these can make a world of difference. SUPPORT PEOPLE: It's ok if you don't know what to do. Adding the phrase "What do you need?" to your communication can help enormously throughout labor. If you've already given birth, did you have a favorite comfort technique? #birth #laboranddelivery #doula #postpartumnurse #babynurse #pregnancy
    • Support people play a HUGE role in lowering pain in labor. All of the techniques listed release oxytocin in the mother which leads to feelings of love, comfort, and safety. 😍Speak kind words: "You're doing so good." "You were made for this." 😍Hug closely. A ten-second hug releases oxytocin. Kissing does the same. 😍Make her laugh. Not only does it distract her, but it lowers pain levels. 😍Massage. Pleasure sensations rush to the brain which blocks pain receptors. 😍Slow dance with her. The swaying of the hips brings comfort to the pelvis, plus it gives a good release of oxytocin to be close to her loved one. Labor can be a connecting, intimate experience with your person. Share this with them so they know what to do! #birth #birthpartner #babynurse #doula #postpartumnurse #labor
