Tip #4 for how to push a baby out :) Instruct your birth companions about who you want to direct you (if you want direction), as you push. Tell them what tone of voice you want that person to use, and the language you prefer. It's so normal for people to start hollering commands when a woman begins pushing, which can be super confusing and annoying. Allow pushing to be a more clear and empowered experience by taking control and asking for what you need. If what you need changes (for example, you originally wanted pushing prompts given in a gentle voice, but now want the person to talk with more pep and volume), tell your people. This process is all about what you need, so don't be afraid to speak up. #HowToPushABabyOut #PushingABabyOut #BirthSupport #LaborAndDelivery #BirthTips #BirthingTIps

Tip #3 for pushing a baby out. Don't start pushing until your body is doing it for you. If you can hold off on pushing until you have the uncontrollable urge to do so, you'll likely exert much less effort and have a shorter pushing phase. Many of us think we have to start pushing as soon as we get to 10cm, but this isn't the case (unless you have a special circumstance that requires urgency.) By staying calm and soft as we continue to surge we allow the body to gently unfold and the baby to naturally descend. I've seen many women utilize this technique and most of them had the baby out after only 10 minutes of pushing - and zero tears. Worth a try :) #PushingABabyOut #HowToPushABabyOut #BirthTips #Birthing #ChildbirthTips #ChildbirthPrep

As the ladies I work with are always craving tips for how to prep for the whole pushing-a-baby-out thing, I thought I'd share some of my top tips over the next few days :) Tip #1! Changing up how we typically do pelvic floor exercises. Instead of solely focusing on tightening those muscles, concentrate just as much (or even more so!) on relaxing the pelvic floor during this exercise. When you’re pushing, you’ll want to engage the ab muscles, while relaxing the pelvic floor. If you’re pelvic floor is engaging and lifting up, it could actually work against your pushing efforts. Practice this weird combo by engaging your abs while fully releasing and relaxing your pelvic muscles. Relax every muscle in your body with the exception of your abdominals - all energy should go to the abs. This takes time to master, so be gentle with yourself as you practice :) #HowToPushABabyOut #BirthTips #BirthingTips #PushingABabyOut #PelvicFloorExercise #LaborPrep #DeliveryPrep
