GUYS! This year has rocked my world in all the best and crazy ways. I realized I haven’t posted any photos since January! 🫣 I’ve captured so many beautiful moments in the last year, so please someone yell at me if I don’t post at least 17 per day from now until Christmas. For now, enjoy this gorgeous family! ♥️

Proud to have Spinning Babies knowledge! How many of my clients out there know I PREACH the balancing during pregnancy? 😆 and if needed during labor, we’ll do the things!

We’re excited to share the findings of a new report published in the European Journal of Midwifery on the Spinning Babies® approach and its role in promoting fetal head rotation during labor.

Key Findings:
✅ Women whose babies began labor in occiput-posterior or occiput-transverse positions, 93.3% of those who used Spinning Babies® techniques experienced rotation to the anterior position by delivery.

💡In contrast, only 63.6% of women in the control group (who did not use Spinning Babies®) saw that rotation.

✅ Use of Spinning Babies® was associated with a 45% increased likelihood of achieving anterior positioning (RR = 1.45; 95% CI: 1.23–1.72), after adjustment for parity and analgesia.

What does this mean?
While the study is retrospective and further research is needed, these results suggest that Spinning Babies® techniques may help support more optimal fetal positioning during labor, potentially making the birthing process smoother for many women. 🫶

We’re thrilled to see clinicians and researchers beginning to examine what many of us in the birth-work community have long observed. ❤️
