Very good video, with some excellent practical advice. I am watching as I am going to be my daughter’s birthing partner. This will help me to assist her if she so wishes. Thank you for these incredible tips. I feel sure they will help her tremendously. She is just over 39 weeks, and she is hoping the baby will come sooner, rather than later. As everyone who has gone through this, knows, at this stage of the pregnancy, you just want the baby out!

She has told him, she’s giving him an eviction notice, and he needs to move to larger premises, but he has decided to become a squatter, and is taking not the blindest bit of notice! 🙈🤣

Alice, I love your direct, practical, informed approach! What positions are acceptable for the pushing phase of labor if you have an epidural?
@birthtoolbox
3 жыл бұрын
That's my goal! I really want to present practical solutions. For pushing with an epidural it depends on how much control you have over your legs. Sidelying should be an option no matter what. If you have control over your legs you can do pushing on your knees while leaning over the back of the bed and hands and knees.

I so wish that when the Creator blesses me with getting this far along in pregnancy that I could have a home birth. I’m on Medical assistance/ Medicaid and haha that is not covered. Lol. But that is my dream. I want to be and feel as free as possible. I just pray if I am given the chance to labor(ultimately birth) that wherever I am I will be able to use many different positions. Like, say if I have to have an epidural (which I would prefer to have an all natural) If the case involves an epidural I just pray that I will have a few options and not just The ONE option of on my back with legs in stirrups or anything similar to that.
