#physiologicalbirth

What do you do when you are about to turn 41? Well, drag your entire family to London for a weekend with a true legend, pioneer, futurist par excellence. Michel Odent at more than twice my age has a mind that’s enviable in its breath of synthesis of ideas, capacity for originality and experience in birth that spans more than half a century. A true turning point for my learning journey. . . . #birth #physiologicalbirth #undisturbedbirth #doula #birthdoula #doulalife #london #mother #pregnancy #mummyyoga (at Kentish Town) https://www.instagram.com/mummyyoga/p/Bv4wJj8HUIM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hofy7g3pwh56

lithotomy position, supine position or "lying on your back" in any inclination is not safe in childBirth. A woman free from modern society influence will not choose "lying on your back" position for pushing the baby out. It's not natural. It's not safe. It increases the need of episiotomy, it creates higher risk for perineal tear, higher risk for internal and external tissue injury, higher risk for pelvis injury, longer pushing stage, pushing against gravity... Feel your body, listen to your body, let it guide you. Let it instinctually guide you to go into a good position that you and your baby need, that you and your baby have chosen for this birth, for safe pushing stage. #willmafied #naturalbirth #physiologicalbirth #notonmyback #birth #childbirth https://www.instagram.com/p/BnlsO38FKF4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l37ynfhp63t3

Be 100% relaxed. Everything around you and inside you needs to support your capability to absolutely relax. Relaxation is the most important factor in childBirth. I said this already and I'll say it again and again. Prepare, train yourself to relax. Know how to relax. Know what it takes to relax you. If you do just this, it will give you an advantage you will know you had only if you do it. If nothing else do just this. Relax. No matter what is going on. You will thank yourself later. #willmafied #birth #childbirth #naturalbirth #physiologicalbirth #fastandeasybirth #relax #prepare #mostimportant https://www.instagram.com/p/Bngf-X_lOSo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s5ezgi0vbl4
