104: Prepare for Birth: Movement Strategies to Prevent Labor Stalls

Gina and Roxanne break down the importance of various movement patterns and labor positions to create space in the pelvis during pregnancy and childbirth. The sisters emphasize that there is no single “best” position, but rather a range of movements that can help facilitate labor progress. They explain how to prepare the body during pregnancy through exercises like hip shifts, pelvic tilts, and spinal mobility. This talk also covers how to address common issues during labor using specific movements and positions, but again, they stress the importance of practicing these movements during pregnancy to be better prepared for labor! 00:00 Introduction to the MamasteFit Podcast01:03 Understanding Laboring Positions02:23 Pelvic Movements During Pregnancy05:18 Prenatal Fitness and Common Postural Tendencies06:42 MamasteFit Birth Prep Circuit07:26 Sponsor Break: Needed Nutrition08:32 Incorporating Movements into Prenatal Workouts13:59 The Importance of Hip Shifts21:28 Applying Movements to Labor27:41 Addressing Common Labor Issues39:35 Conclusion and Resources Links:Hip Shift Video: https://youtu.be/3qZGTPdupXg——————————Get Your Copy of Training for Two on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3VOTdwH📧 Download our free birth prep circuit guide with six exercises to prepare your body for birth: https://mamastefit.com/freebies/prepare-for-birth-circuit/Prepare for your birth with MamasteFit:💻 Online Childbirth Education Courses🏋🏻‍♀️ Online Prenatal Fitness Programming🧘‍♀️ Prepare Your Pelvic Floor for Birth CourseExplore our prep for birth courses: https://mamastefit.com/prenatal-support3rd Trimester Specific Prep Courses: https://mamastefit.com/fitness-programs/third-trimester/-------Freebies to Support Your Postpartum:📩 Join our free early postpartum recovery course: https://mamastefit.com/freebies/early-postpartum-recovery/—-Recover after birth and return to fitness with MamasteFit: https://mamastefit.com/fitness-programs/postpartum/💻 Postpartum Education Courses🏋🏻‍♀️ Postpartum Fitness Programs——Follow Us on IG at https://instagram.com/mamastefit——This podcast is sponsored by Needed, a nutrition company focused on optimal nourishment for your perinatal journey. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code MAMASTEPOD for 20% off your first order or three months of subscription.⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ****Freebies*****Early postpartum recovery course: https://mamastefit.com/freebies/early-postpartum-recovery-guide/ Postpartum sample: https://mamastefit.com/freebies/postpartum-fitness-guide/Prenatal Sample: https://mamastefit.com/freebies/prenatal-fitness-program-guide/Pelvic Floor https://mamastefit.com/freebies/prepare-your-pelvic-floor-for-labor/Birth Prep for Labor Guide https://mamastefit.com/freebies/prepare-for-labor-guide/Birth Partner Guide https://mamastefit.com/freebies/birth-partner-guide/Birth Plan https://mamastefit.com/freebies/birth-plan-guide/
