Scheduling your prenatal care.
It is really helpful to think of my work as preventive care and labor preparation/support.
I am all about supporting your unique journey, needs and goals. But seeing me at certain milestones will help increase your comfort and birth goals.
So let’s talk about it.
My work is broken down into three phases:
Phase 1 changes your body, and the baby’s optimal position;
20 week
24 weeks
30 weeks
Phase 2 labor preparation:
34 weeks
36 weeks
37 weeks
Phase 3 Induction work:
38 weeks until delivery
Please know that you are welcomed to come in at any time but these are the important milestones to not miss.
The difference between labor preparation and induction work.
Labor preparation is making sure that the baby has enough space to get low and centered. The uterus is what gets baby out and into your arms. So if baby is facing the right way, low and centered this can greatly help with pushing times and recovery in postpartum. As well as lessening the chance of tearing.
With labor preparation we are focusing on making sure the parts of the pelvis that need to be loose and flexible are. Such as the femur head, sacrum and tailbone. All of these areas have to open and expand to support the pelvis opening like butterfly wings in your labor.
Induction work:
Is focused on working in very specific areas to get aid in helping labor start. I of course do all the support for helping you prepare for labor but also have a focus to help labor start.
I am here for any questions.
You are loved and supported.
