Big baby is constantly used to scare/bully/coerce women into inductions.
But the research doesn't support it.

The truth is
👉 Scans are inaccurate
👉 Induction is not beneficial and carries other risks for your baby
👉 Your baby will not grow too big to fit through your pelvis.
👉 Your baby will not gain a "pound a week" in the last few weeks.
👉 Big babies are healthy sturdy babies. You want that!

Don't be scared into having an induction/cesarean that you don't want because you are told your baby is "big".

If you're interested in learning more about avoiding interventions such as cesareans, induction and forceps birth then check out my Online Birth Empress Course. Link in bio or comment EMPRESS and I'll send you the details.

Pregnant women you need to know this 👇

The easiest position for baby to birth is if their back is to your front( OA). Birth with a back to back/OP baby is possible but it tends to be longer, more painful with more risk of needing vacuum/forceps or and emergency caesarean.

If you know before you are in labour there are things you can do. ( this applies to breech/transverse too.)

🤰There are biomechanics exercises you can do to create room for your baby to turn.
🤰You can do to your local acupuncturist and get a home treatment called moxa which can really help to turn your baby.
🤰There are baby turn hypnobirthing tracks available ( I have one for sale on my website) which can help reduce stress and anxiety.

About 80% of OP babies will turn in labour but it can be a long and painful process so why not sort it beforehand?

Just keep asking at every maternity appointment – where is the back? And if it is not OA (baby's back to your front and head down) then contact your local acupuncturist, get the hypnobirth track and/or do the exercises.

Comment TURN if you would like a link to buy the turn audio track.

Pregnant women, the big baby reason is a very common one used to persuade you to have an induction.
And I get how scary it can be. You don’t want your baby to get stuck ( known as shoulder dystocia) and/or you end up with severe tearing.

But induction is not the answer – even if your baby is big – which it most likely will not be.

Induction actually increases your risk of baby getting stuck. In a study by Chevalier et al 2014 73% of dystocia cases were induced vs 27% who had a spontaneous labour .

Induction will also increase your risk of a 3rd or 4th degree tear.

So at the minute inducing a women for a big baby is NOT evidence based.

So you can refuse an induction if you wish. If you would like a free cheatsheet on questions to ask about an induction and the guidelines that the hospital is supposed to follow when seeking your consent then comment CHEAT below and I will send to you

Pregnant women, you have the power to decide how you want to move in labour.

You can birth in whatever position you wish.
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

If you would like a free Labour Positions sheet to show you how to stay of your back then comment SHEET below and I will send to you.

You can find out more about all of the above at my Online Birth Empress Course. Available at the link in my bio or comment EMPRESS and I will send you the details

Pregnant women what I have seen is that a lot of classes focus on the facts about birth. It misleads you into thinking if you just know enough about birth you’ll be fine.

But here’s the thing. If you don’t have the confidence and the connection to your own intuition and power then all the knowledge in the world won’t help.

You won’t remember the stats about CTG in the middle of your birth. But if you have the confidence and connection to you own wisdom then you will have no problem refusing it if that’s your plan. You will trust yourself to make the right decisions.

Over 10 years of working with pregnant women I have seen too many women who had a previous birth where despite knowing all the facts they still ended up with a birth they didn’t want.

That’s why I created my Birth Empress Online Course. It gives you all the knowledge you need about birth but more importantly it gives you the confidence and connection your need to trust yourself and your own wisdom in labour.

Check it out at the link in my bio or comment EMPRESS below and I will send you the details.

Pregnant women, which one is your favourite?

I know this is a tough thing to hear if you are pregnant but I am trying to save you from the same mistake that I made on my first birth.

I trusted the maternity system. I did what I was told. I ended up in stirrups with an instrumental birth and a 3rd degree tear.

That’s when I realised that if I wanted something different I was going to have to save myself.

The hospital system is designed around staffing levels, reduction of liability and a one size fits all mentality. Not to mention an entirely patriarchal medical system.

If you are going to have the birth your deserve you need to
🤰Educate yourself and your partner
🤰Start practicing advocating for yourself even in small ways
🤰Learn how to connect with your own wisdom and power.
🤰Work on reducing fear and building confidence.

I did all this for my second birth and it was so different. I had the most powerful and magical experience. If I can do it you can do it too.

If you would like some help then check out my Online Birth Empress Course at the link in my bio.

Pregnant women, the rise in induction rates is not your fault.

It is the hospitals attempt to reduce their liability.
What they don’t tell you is that for the majority of so called “reasons” for induction there is NO evidence that induction reduces stillbirth rates.

And lots of evidence that it causes both short term and long term harm to you or your baby.

It is always your choice no matter what their policy is. Informed consent is your right.

If you would like a free cheatsheet on questions to ask about an induction and the guidelines that the hospital is supposed to follow when seeking your consent then comment CHEAT below and I will send to you.
