Are you pregnant or planning to become pregnant soon? If so, you should know about the incredible philosophy and practice known as 'Spinning Babies'. This technique is a physiological approach to preparing for birth. It involves techniques and an awareness of the soft tissue, physiological aspects, and some physical aspects that can help tune practitioners into why babies linger in certain positions during pregnancy or labor. It turns out that a baby's position can have an impact on labor patterns - and this can indicate if a baby is malpositioned. Spinning Babies is incredibly helpful in addressing things like inadequate cervical dilation, pain during pregnancy, funky labor patterns, labors that stall out - all situations that often result in a C-sections or Pitocin when, in reality, it’s the body sounding the alarm that baby is not in an ideal position.
Our guest today Nicole Morales is a midwife, author and spinning babies expert. She helps bring an awareness to birth and labor outcomes not typically found in an OB or hospital setting. So if you're wise, hire a Spinning Babies trained doula or midwife at your next birth to help avoid unnecessary interventions!
