During the first stage of labor, there are different body mechanics to focus on to help progress the baby into the pelvic inlet.

The pelvic inlet is the top portion of the pelvis.

In the first stage of labor, try to focus on:
-Externally rotating your hips by pointing and rolling your knees outwards.
-Posteriorly tilting your pelvis by tucking your tailbone under or rounding your low back.

Swipe to see different options for sitting, standing, and kneeling for the first stage of labor.

A 2019 study compared labor positions in the second stage of labor and delivery.

When comparing labor positions, they found lying on your side was one of the least likely positions to cause perineal damage compared with squat, semi-recumbent (head of bed elevated 45 deg), supine (on back) positions.

The article goes further to state in the 2nd stage, "Lithotomy and supine position should be avoided for the possible increased risk of severe perineal trauma, comparatively longer labor, greater pain, and more fetal heart rate patterns."

We discuss labor positions in more detail for each stage, reducing injury to your pelvic floor, and other evidence informed practices to reduce perineal trauma in the Pelvic Prep for Birth class! Enrolll in the on-demand class today to be empowerd in your birthing experience! Sign up link in bio.

It's true! Some studies have shown that by late third trimester up to 100% of pregnant people will have diastasis recti, a widening of the abdominal muscles. ⁠
⁠
This is a natural adaption of the body to allow for more space for the baby. ⁠
⁠
If you notice doming, coning or bulging at the midline of the belly, this could be a sign of diastasis. Often times, people notice this getting out of bed. If you do, try rolling to your side first, then push up with your arms and exhale as you sit up.⁠

What other questions do you have about DRA?⁠

Ever notice after your morning coffee the bladder seems more irritated? Coffee is a diuretic which causes an increase in urination as the body is trying to remove waste.

Now, I'm not saying to stop drinking coffee but here are some tips to reduce bladder irritation while still consuming caffeine:

💦 Try drinking half a glass of water before your morning joe and the other half afterwards.
💦 Maintain a balance of plain water to bladder irritants. Try 75% of daily fluid intake as water and the other 25% as bladder irritants.
💦 Drink half of your body weight in fluid ounces of water per day.

Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) while pregnant and after having a baby (vaginal or cesarean delivery) is much more common than one might think.⁠
⁠
PFD symptoms can include:⁠
-leaking urine, stool or gas⁠
-scar pain (cesarean or perineum)⁠
-pelvic or ge***al pain⁠
-pelvic organ prolapse⁠
-painful intercourse⁠
⁠
There is treatment for these symptoms and you do not need to live them just because you are pregnant or had a baby. ⁠
⁠
Women who received pelvic floor muscle training were 17x more likely to report an improvement or cure of their urinary incontinence symptoms. And pelvic floor training during pregnancy has shown to significantly reduce postnatal urinary incontinence by 40%!!⁠
⁠
Work with a pelvic floor physical therapist to learn the correct pelvic floor muscle training for you!⁠
