Childbirth tip - have someone you like touch you :) * Smart people at the Touch Research Institute reported birthing women whose partners massaged them felt less depressed, had less labor pain and had lower stress and anxiety levels. They found that the physical involvement of a partner corresponded to less need for pain medication, shorter labors, fewer complications and happier mamas. * And all touch is not equal- in another study it was found that moms found massage administered by a partner or doula more therapeutic than touch given by a medical care provider. * For additional pregnancy + childbirth support get your copy of Feng Shui Mommy, https://www.amazon.com/Feng-Shui-Mommy-Childbirth-Motherhood/dp/1608684717 * #childbirth #massage #childbirthtips #touchyfeely

Touch. This photo makes me think about how much touch women often receive from their partner, care provider, self, and hopefully, well trained body workers during pregnancy. Ideally, this touch is given with gentle hands and loving intentions. But, when the baby is born, all touch often reverts to the baby. While babies, of course, need and deserve this care, the new mother is also in desperate need of this touch. So, this is my little call to action for new mothers, and those who support them, to ensure she's receiving some type of healing body work from practitioners such as physical therapists, masseuses, or craniosacral therapists trained to guide a woman's body back to a state of harmony after the wild ride of pregnancy, then a vaginal or cesarean birth. You deserve it 😉#repost @beachcitiesmidwifery Photo by: @ododua.aum #pregnancy #childbirth #postpartumbody #postpartumhealing #postpartumhealth #bodywork

A runner stretches before and after a marathon. And, each surge during childbirth is like a mini-marathon, so you may need to stretch your muscles in between. No need to get all Gumby with it, just get the blood re-flowing through your muscles by stretching your arms above your head, pointing and flexing your feet or doing any other stretch that feels good and easy to you :) * For additional pregnancy + childbirth support get your copy of Feng Shui Mommy, https://www.amazon.com/Feng-Shui-Mommy-Childbirth-Motherhood/dp/1608684717 * #childbirth #stretchitout #childbirthtips
