The importance of gathering your tribe during pregnancy... * Although you have everything you need between the top of your head and the tips of your toes to experience a wonderful birth, it doesn’t hurt to have additional minds, hearts, and hands — preferably hands that don’t mind pitching in and doing some cooking and cleaning, or offering to come over to hold the baby while you “de-gunk.” Gathering your baby-raising villagers is an integral component of this journey. * Pregnancy and early motherhood can be drenched in feelings of isolation if you don’t actively invite the right people into your experience. Pregnant women too often live in a state of quiet shame, certain their fears, needs, and questions are too silly to share. But there are no silly questions when it comes to birthing; you are, after all, creating a whole new person. * Your journey should be one of mutual support, compassion, and unity. When you open yourself to the realization that you do not need to do this alone, and shouldn’t do it alone, you will ease into a state of security where you feel free to express your vulnerability, and request and accept help. From this space of security and vulnerability you will discover who will best support you during pregnancy and childbirth, and who will be generous with their heart and outstretched arms in the first chapters of your new life with baby. * For additional pregnancy + childbirth support get your copy of Feng Shui Mommy, https://www.amazon.com/Feng-Shui-Mommy-Childbirth-Motherhood/dp/1608684717 * #pregnancy #community #tribe #ittakesavillage Photo: @kMagnuson

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

Pain relieving tip for childbirth - have someone squeeze your hips during surges. * Because your hips are hit with a Mack Truck of pressure during birth, applying pressure to this area can push it back into a relaxed state, offering you one of the tastiest flavors of relief. This pressure can also encourage baby to get moving down and out. * Give your partner access to your back, preferably by leaning forward onto a bed or birthing ball. Next, have them place their palms on the fleshy part of each side of your hips, with their fingertips facing each other and hands parallel to the ground. Now, they should apply pressure down and in, like they were trying to squeeze your butt cheeks together! Yay! Have them toy around with hand positioning and pressure until a resounding “yes!” releases within 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 #hipsqueeze #childbirthtips

Pain relieving tip for childbirth - do hip swirls. * Circular movements during experiences that are usually processed as painful send signals to receptors in your brain to minimize their perception of pain. Swirling is the most organic movement to flow into during surges, and helps pain funnel down and out, being replaced by a rush of endorphins. * These circular motions also help baby progress downward. If you feel lingering tension after a surge continue the swirling until the tightness has loosened. Prenatal hip swirls also strengthen your abdominal wall, serving to minimize chances of Diastasis Recti (abdominal separation), reduce back pain and make your surges more effective. * For additional pregnancy + childbirth support get your copy of Feng Shui Mommy, https://www.amazon.com/Feng-Shui-Mommy-Childbirth-Motherhood/dp/1608684717 * #childbirth #hipsswirls #childbirthtips #childbirthpainrelief
