How to Engage Baby’s Head in the Pelvis | Positions to Help with Labor and Birth | LABOR POSITIONS

Hey Mama! What's your favorite thing about being pregnant or being a mama?

How do you know what size birth ball to get?

36 weeks and baby boy decided to turn transverse after being head down my entire pregnancy until now 😅 will some of these help get him head down?

I followed all your advice during my first bitrth experience. It was lovely. Now pregnant with my second and I am back again for this Golden advance. ❤

Forward leaning always makes me feel like I’m about to pass out. I can’t do it.

I'm 35 weeks and my babies head is down but he's not in the pelvis yet. What week should the babies head drop down into the pelvis?

Thank you so much for this video. I was having lower back pain and pressure on my pelvis and felt that there was nothing that could be done about it. These stretches actually helped with my pain. But maybe doing them right after having spicy ramen is not a good idea. Oh the heartburn! >.<

Greetings Bridget💛☀️ Would you happen to have any videos on DISengaging baby/stalling delivery?
A momma just reached 5 months of pregnancy, but docs say the baby is already low and are looking out for early arrival; any exercises or positions u recommend, herbs?
Also, mom is vomiting daily since the start of pregnancy.

What position helps a cephalic baby be back-facing ?

Not a fan of the stigma that if your baby is in the wrong position then it’s because you laid down or sat too much, or something is wrong with your body. I don’t like being blamed for something I had no control in. There’s literally no proof that lazy moms have breech babies but that’s basically what you’re saying in your intro.

Watched this at 30 weeks! Hoping this helps baby #2 come down when the time comes🤍

I’m 37 weeks and baby girl is still breech how many times a day do I need to do the forward leaning inversion position?

Awesome! Thank you so much! The through the hole is definitely something I was missing in my stretches.

How many times a day should these be done?

Thanks for the tips! What size is best for the birthing ball? I’m unsure if it would be too small or too big 😢

Well explained

The fourth position is not feasible for a mama who's in advance stage of her pregnancy.

When should I start doing this?

I’m 38 1/2 weeks and my midwife thinks baby may be OP. Is it too late to work on these tips to help her turn OA?

What if my baby is already well positioned, should I still do these exercises?

I watched your videos in my last month of pregnancy and wow! I had an amazing birth and all natural.
It would've been a positive birth story to tell if i wouldn't have lost my daughter to sudden death 😔.
I think i will Inshallah come back here for my next pregnancies. Hoping for the best🤞. Best of luck mamas, watch all her videos and make your experience better.

Bridget why my baby remains up during labor?? I need many time push to deliver her...I do exercise every thing but nothing worked

Thanks Bridget! I’m 39+5, currently 4cm dilated, 90% effaced and baby is at station -1. Doing these exercises to further engage baby’s head & hoping to meet him very soon!

I’m 41+1. I can’t even believe it, this is my 3rd. I’ve never gone this long and I’ve literally done everything. Hopefully some of these positions will work. I really don’t want an induction.

Very resourceful. Thank you 😊

Am 41 weeks yet no labour

when should you start doing these? At what point in pregnancy?

How many forward leaning inversions shall I do a day?

Amazing content, very constructive.
I’d love to read some feedback. Did this work for any of you?

It’s comical that you dont have a large pregnant belly but you’re showing women these positions lol

Hi Bridget. If my baby is cephalic, is there still a need for or are there any benefits to doing forward leaning inversions?

1. Posture: Sitting up straight like you have a balloon coming out of your head, pulling you up. Head over heart over hips. Feet flat and knees 90 degrees.
2. Leaning forward: knees on the ground and leading with head and arms on birth ball
3. Forward leaning inversion: similar to above, but arms on ground and knees and legs on couch. Belly is pulled into spine, back is straight. Head is not supporting body weight on ground. Throbbing in head normal first few times. Stop if painful. Start at 30weeks once a day.
4. The hole: lay on back with feet flat and pulled in a bit. Lay one ankle over opposite knee and gently pull on thigh of supporting leg to stretch. Once/day or 2-3x per week

Can it be a problem if we do these excersises when we have a ROT baby position or can we still do them so the baby turns into the anterior position?
Or is the ROT position already good for labour?

Can you do the forward leaning inversion before 30 weeks? If not can you please explain why. Thank you!

Currently 32 weeks. I did the pelvic tilt and FLE. this helped me with my previous pregnancy and i know this will help me again this time

Waiting for my son! 2 weeks left until my due date! But I’m hoping he comes soon

I am 2 days till due date … I hope this will help

what's a good size for the birth ball?

I've been naturally doing these moves during both of my pregnancies, because it just felt right. Doctor's always seem impressed by my kiddos positioning.

So helpful! Thank you!

the birth ball link is broken, can you please share another link or the brand? thanks

I love how everyone else is like 25+ weeks looking at this and I'm like 6 and worrying already lol 😆

Forward leaning inversion -Spinning babies also say to tuck you chin in to chest and tuck your tailbone in as well..
Love your videos Bridget Your my fav Doula❤
Fm one doula to another 🥰

Prayers for Jesus’ hand over every mama and baby! Patiently waiting for my baby boy to make his grand appearance (37 weeks, 38 this coming up Monday, Good Lord Willing)!!

You should have done / shown this to us while you yourself were pregnant. As you are doing these postures without any belly makes this video not a valid one for me. Just my opinion.

Crying in relief that I found advice for my situation 😭 thank you so much for posting this

Love feeling empowered to prepare my body and baby for delivery! Thank you!

For how many minutes should we do forward leaning inversion?!

Are these positions safe for someone trying VBAC?

Really wanting to implement the forward leaning inversion, but every time I try, it causes intense coning in my abdomen. Any tips? Maybe my couch is too high off the ground?
