Ask A Doula

A really cool fact for you today!

Did you know in the birth world we have a term called "optimal position"? This is when the baby's back is anywhere but facing your back, which is referred to as OP.

OP babies have a hard time entering the pelvis and cause many issues like painful back labour, an extended time during pushing and so forth.

But do not fear! You can be proactive much sooner than finding this out during labour.

I recently just worked with a client to help encourage her baby to move OUT of OP position. Together we were able to convince him of such! Through the use of rebozo techniques and my Spinning Babies Training.

Did you know?

It is more likely that your water will break during active labour than at any other time. It ain't like the movies! In fact, this is a good thing! The bag of waters can act like a bit of a cushion, causing contractions to become more intense once it breaks.

Only 15% of people will experience SPROM = spontaneous rupture of membranes. Leaving the remaining 85% to experience it during labour!

Did you know?

Only 5% of babies are born ON their due date!

With a rate of 81% of first-time moms going past due.

Our culture LOVES when things happen fast. But birth is a wild beast and quickly reminds us we aren't in charge.

Did your baby come late, or early?
