Transition and pushing are often the shortest yet most challenging stage of labor. Your body has locked in and each contraction is doing a job 💪🏼
Feeling like you can’t finish is a normal and expected part of this stage. The feeling of intensity and maybe fear, tells your providers that you are right at the finish line!

Remember to stay focused and keep a strong mindset at this point, you’re closer to meeting your baby than you think! Push with your body and allow your baby to move at their pace!

Active Labor: The second stage of labor

Active labor can the part of labor where your body is working the hardest! You’ll starting feeling more pressure in your back and hips, stronger and more consistent contractions. It’s important for you to remember to relax and breathe through each wave with intention and calmness!

Each stage of labor come with its own set of unknown territory! Here are a few things to help prep and familiarize yourself as each step comes!

•Early labor is usually the longest part of labor (for those who experience it)
•Rest and hydrate like your life depends on it (it kinda does)
•Early labor contractions are inconsistent and usually not strong enough to change demeanor or conversation
•Eat nourishing meals while you can
•Spend some quality time with people you love! Oxytocin flow is a game changer

When it comes to labor and birth, mom and baby are the pilots - everyone else is building the airplane around them.

Anyone who is on your support team should be going where you go. On the bed, on the toilet, in the shower or in the tub, we will go to you! Physiological birth truly means undisturbed, letting the body take over. We keep that peace because we know how important it is to keep the pilot safe and focused!

Althea Hrdlichka, CPM

As a mother of four, I found my enjoyment and satisfaction during pregnancy was truly dependent on the support I received. I have had four completely different birthing experiences. Some were fulfilling while others fell short. This is why I chose to dedicate my life's work to assist women during pregnancy and childbirth by becoming a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife).

​ I also keep a current certification in neonatal resuscitation and CPR. While homebirth is a mostly natural form of childbirth, I work closely with doctors, chiropractors and other medical providers to bring every element of care necessary to service all of my clients needs throughout their pregnancy and childbirth. I’ve worked with women through both natural and medicated births, and assisted with many successful VBAC’s in the hospital and at home.

I am passionate about providing supportive, gentle and loving care to all my clients so that they may experience the birth they deserve. I look forward to providing care and knowledge to you and your partner as well as a safe and satisfying pregnancy and birthing experience. I cannot wait to meet you and assist you through your journey to a wonderful and satisfying pregnancy and birth.
