50% of women will develop a prolapse which is a drooping of the pelvic organs such as the bladder, v@gina, uterus, or rectum due to stretching or tearing of the ligaments that hold up these organs. Though more common in those who have been pregnant it can happen to any woman. Protecting the pelvic floor during childbirth is the best option for the prevention of developing or worsening a prolapse. As humans we evolved to give birth in an upright position using gravity to aide the process however due to medical intervention we have adopted the practice to women giving birth lying on their backs so that healthcare practitioners can easily monitor the progress. Unfortunately, this is not a natural position for the mom. However due to safety issues, discuss this further with your birthing provider. Consider the following options for labor if ok with your practitioner. 👶Sitting upright in bed 👶Squatting next to bed 👶Standing bent over bed 👶Upright in a water tub 👶Sitting on an exercise ball Most importantly no matter what position you are in....there is no rush to push. Consider "laboring down" This is a process by with gravity and uterine contractions allow the baby to progress down the birth canal and slowly stretch the tissue. Consider avoiding pushing until the babies head has reached the opening and even then allow for gentle stretching of the tissue to avoid tearing. Breath deep and relax. You can do it. Now of course, even the best made plans....don't go as planned. No matter what....you are an amazing mom and have accomplished tremendous acts.
