Looking at that molding always tells us if our suspicions about presentation were right!!
This is why we always say that MOVEMENT IN BIRTH MATTERS!!!! 🤩🙌🏼
Did you know the pelvis isn’t a straight tunnel that your baby “passes through”, but rather a dynamic, curved rotational guide your baby actively NAVIGATES? Your baby doesn’t just descend, they rotate, adjust and respond to the physical pelvis and positions as birth unfolds.
What an intelligent design that babies are born with unfused skull bones, allowing molding and shape subtle (or sometimes not so subtle!) shape changes to accommodate the unique needs of labor…each baby, each time! Birth, then, is more like a dance between mom and baby, and we should be in awe every single time it works…I know I am! 💕
When mamas are untethered to wires and free to move their bodies, their babies can actively participate in and even have their bones temporarily adapt to the curves of the pelvis. It may look bizarre sometimes, but it’s physiology that works by a perfect design.
And don’t worry mamas, within days that cute head rounds right back out to that kissable shape that fits in cute bonnets and bows 🎀
When you look at this picture, be reminded today that each of us were made for this. Go dance your dance!
