The Reality of Preparing your Pregnant Body for Birth
Keep in mind. You have a BIG Object growing in your body. As BirthingBetter dads explained:
“There’s a big object in her body. We can’t change the object so we have to figure out if we can open up her pelvis”. And, the answer was a resounding YES, WE CAN!
Why? We all blink. Cough, and can tighten up our rectum. We, men and women, have the same body with small exceptions.
We can create space front-to-back; side-to-side and we can learn how to expand inside our pelvis and soften the tissue inside our pelvis. These are simple, simple, simple to learn skills.
MAP YOUR PELVIS
- Find out your front-back and side to side dimension. (PHOTOS)
- Compare with your partner!
- Your baby has to come out of that ‘space’. Once you know your Map that will lead you to choose Positions in birth that keep your labor progressing (contractions getting longer, stronger, and closer together)
CREATE SPACE
If you labor is progressing, your baby is telling you: ‘Mom, I have room. You don’t have internal tension. You’re in positions that are good for me”
These are some of the BirthingBetter body skills that fathers developed in the 1980s.
- HIP LIFT … (PHOTOS) creates space from side-to-side
- SACRAL MANOUVRE (PHOTOS) creates space front-to-back
- SIT BONE SPREAD (PHOTOS) creates space between your sitbones
- THE INTERNAL WORK .. essential for 8 weeks/5 minutes/day so your baby moves through the birth canal easily and you are not damaged
- POSITIONS … how to find the positions in birth that keep your labor progressing.
CONCLUSION: The trouble with AI is that it neither Thinks nor is Discerning and apparently it knows nothing about BirthingBetter although we’ve been online for 25 years and have over 1,300 videos on YouTube and multiple content spread all over the Internet of Things. This means if you use AI to understand what skills you need to prepare your body for birth, you won’t be directed to birthing skills that work!
