Gravity is so helpful during labor. So finding a standing position that facilitates some swaying movement is amazing. Place the ball on top of a bed, couch or chair or any other surface that works.

During the newborn exam, the Midwife offered to let the parents also hear their babies heartbeat outside of the womb. It was so sweet to watch their smiles. Them hearing the same heartbeat that they’ve heard inside the belly for months; now outside. Treasure Valley Midwives

This is one part of the pre-labor movements and stretches that I have my clients and students do in the last month or so before they go into labor. Keeping the body moving and allowing softness and openness in the pelvis helps prepare the body for labor and hopefully helps the baby get into a better position before you go into labor. Optimizing baby’s position can potentially shorten the labor process. Take this preparation up a notch by listening to the mental preparation at the same time. This taps in to the mind, body connection. It helps the body get into deeper relaxation during labor.

This was a birth that required all the things! We had been up all night changing positions and trying and get that baby to turn and move labor along. The yoga sling really helped her drop into a nice deep squat. 👉👉One of her comments about this position was that she actually felt like she was coping better than when she was holding a static position. Her back labor was significantly better. I do not own the rights to the music she was listening to, that is just what was happening in the moment.

is helpful when you know that baby is high, like -2 or -3 station. You can also use the sling to do an upright version of this position and Walchers is another version. Make sure the body is very bowed into the C position.

Supported squats with a sling are super helpful during labor. There are other great positions that can be achieved with the sling as well. It has become one of my favorite tools for labor and pre-labor. You can use it standing and swaying. You can also sit on a ball and lean back and feel supported while rotating your hips around. And then you can just be creative with it as well. As always thank you victressboi for the use of your space for teaching!!
