Empowering women to make informed choices about childbirth is crucial. 🌸💪 Did you know that many women choose not to give birth flat on their backs? 🤔 Let’s shed light on this choice and why YOU may also want to consider it. 1️⃣ Comfort Matters: Different birthing positions offer comfort and ease during labor. For many women, lying on their backs can be less comfortable than positions like squatting, kneeling, or standing. Comfort is key to a positive birthing experience. 2️⃣ Efficient Labor: Some studies suggest that certain positions may facilitate a more efficient labor. Movement and upright positions can work with gravity, potentially aiding the natural progression of childbirth. It’s about finding what works best for each individual. 3️⃣ Reduced Interventions: Opting for alternative positions may contribute to fewer medical interventions. Being upright can allow the pelvis to open more, potentially reducing the need for forceps or vacuum assistance. 4️⃣ Empowerment and Autonomy: Every woman’s birthing journey is unique. Choosing a birthing position empowers women to take an active role in their experience, fostering a sense of autonomy and control. Let’s encourage open conversations about childbirth choices, respecting each woman’s agency in her birthing journey. 🌈💖 It’s all about informed choices, support, and embracing the diversity of birthing experiences. 🤰✨ Tune in next week as @physio.claudia will be sharing more birthing tips and tricks - if you have any question let us know! 👇 👉Remember to like, share and save 👏 #EmpowerBirthChoices #BirthingJourney #WomenInControl #Birth #LabourPositions #WomensHealth #BirthPosition #Childbirth #Bloom #OttawaPhysio #BloomLove #PelvicFloorPhysio

The breath can be such an impactful part of your health and wellness. If you are looking to use the breath to down-regulate the sympathetic nervous system (fight & flight) while up-regulating the parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest) then check out this video on our YouTube channel.
