Position Change and Movement During Labor

It's important to be active during childbirth. Change positions every 20 minutes, even if it's a small shift from one side to the other. These movements help the baby shift and descend into and through the birth canal, and they can even help give the laboring mother comfort during labor. I found this great blog post on At Your Cervix (written by a Labor & Delivery Nurse): Getting in position -- making changes to shake, rattle and roll "Up. Move. Lean forward. Lie on your far left or right…

Dr. Lizzie Kieffer - Pelvic PT on Instagram: "*Contraction starts* “Okay lift your head and push push push for 10, 9, 8, 7, 6…….” Also known as “purple pushing”. Who pushed like this during labor❓❓❓ I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of you said you did! This is common practice in the hospital setting. But when you look at it’s effects on the body (and baby) it really doesn’t make sense 🤔 For starters, when you HOLD your breath, you’re decreasing the oxygen flow to your uterus and baby. This is exactly where we NEED all the oxygen! Your uterus is working hard and so is baby. And of course you are too 🤍 The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends NOT directing someone in labor to hold their breath or consciously sustain pushing.
