Making space for baby: how osteopathy prepares your pelvis for birth.
Pregnancy is magick in motion, and your pelvis is at the centre of it.
From early on, the hormone relaxin softens your ligaments while your growing bump shifts your centre of gravity forward. Muscles like the psoas and pelvic floor work harder to keep you stable, and the ligaments supporting the uterus can become tight or uneven. That can limit the space your baby has to settle into a good position for birth, and it’s often behind the back pain, pelvic girdle pain and sciatica so many people experience.
In your session, we use soft tissue and myofascial release on the psoas, glutes and deep hip rotators, gentle articulation of the sacroiliac joints and p***c symphysis, and external pelvic floor work to ease tension. We also free up the lower ribs and diaphragm, which gives your baby more room as they grow and helps your breathing. The aim is a more balanced, mobile pelvis, without force and with you comfortably supported.
We can’t promise a particular position, as every baby and every birth is different, but we can help create the best conditions possible.
