During pregnancy, using a birth ball increases blood flow to uterus, placenta & your baby. It can give counter-pressure to your perineum & thighs. It can encourage the descent of your baby and increase your pelvic outlet. It helps your baby get into best position for birth.

The use of a birth ball during labor can shorten the length of the first stage, and has been shown to lessen the likelihood of an epidural.

In the postpartum stage, you can deflate the ball a little to make it sifter when your perineum is sore after birth. You can bounce with your baby when they are fussy, and continue to strengthen your pelvic floor! ✨

The placenta — the mother of the mother — the tree of life — the protecter — the regulator — the bridge between earth and spirit — the irreplaceable host of oxygen, nutrients, and comfort — the placenta.

In ’s book, she describes the placenta as ‘The Forgotten Chakra’ ~ The placental chakra is known as ‘Apara’ in Sanskrit, which translates to boundless beginnings. It guides us through unity versus separation and the mother-child matrix. It’s colors are red, indigo, violet and crystal.
The Apara chakra represents the bridge between earth and spirit, a conduit of our earthly connection to the divine.

The placenta is the only organ that is created and discarded by the body. This temporary organ links the mother & fetus. It brings nutrients and oxygen to the baby, and moves harms waste and materials away.

Performing multiple functions, it acts as the lungs, kidneys, and liver, and the gastrointestinal, endocrine, and immune systems for the fetus. It produces hormones to help maintain pregnancy and support fetal development. It protects the fetus from the mother’s immune system.

Vital for pregnancy, it plays a big role in pregnancy outcomes. Problems with the placenta can result in conditions like preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, prematurity, and stillbirth. In general, it can influence lifelong health. Problems with the placenta can be a marker, maybe even a cause, of later disease of mother and child.

As Martian de Jong says — the placenta is our second mother. it is mother nature nurturing us with her perfection. 🌹

One of my favorite positions to suggest in labor is slow dancing/swaying with your partner ✨ This intimate position is incredibly bonding and can facilitate an increase of oxytocin production ~ one of the key hormones in labor.

This position can be used in any stage of labor ~ from early labor all the way up through transition and pushing. It can be a great opportunity for the mom to rest as her partner provides physical support, and allows the partner to hold her close during a contraction.

Slow dancing allows you to move your hips in rhythm with your contractions or music. This can aid in relaxation and moving your hips can increase your comfort and help baby descend. Plus with this position, gravity is on your side also helping bring that baby down 🤍
