- Do you know how to move during labor?!
Please please please don't just go into labor thinking that it is time to squat and lunge until a baby is born - THAT IS NOT EFFECTIVE.
The best way to labor is effectively and intentionally. You must labor and move based on where your baby is in the pelvis...This is how you have a faster and easier labor. But, how do you know? Do you have to get cervical exams?
Nope! If you choose to, go ahead, but it's not always necessary.
All you need to do is follow your body's lead to know what station your baby is actually at and then move accordingly (stay tuned for episode 3 next Tuesday to know how your body tells you the station of baby)!
Nonetheless, let's not waste our time or energy laboring since nobody wants this to take longer than it needs to. While some babies may need some more time and support in certain stations or positions, these positions are a great place to start. Just make sure you are giving yourself time to rest as well since this is a marathon and not a sprint.
Stay tuned for Part 3 of this series where I will discuss how to know what station your baby is in without cervical exams!

I love how you explain what movements to do in the different stages of labor! 38 weeks pregnant so I’ll be watching this over and over!
You got this mama!
Deep squat when baby is floating/ negative station
In order to move into pelvis
Also sit on birth ball relax pelvic floor open knees wide
I am enjoying all of your videos. This 3 part series especially has helped me understand so much more about the pelvis. These are absolute birthing hacks that all women should know. Thank you for sharing you experience and knowledge!
Thanks for being here!
This is exactly what I was looking for and couldn’t find anywhere else !!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Love this series you've got going! I'm 37 weeks and as baby starts to shift down I keep all of this information in mind! Lots of thanks I love this channel
Awww thank you, mama! I’m so glad you’re here! Rooting for you!
This is so helpful, thank you!
This is amazing info. Thank you!!!!
Very helpful to know what to do to help as labor progress. Thank you
THANK YOU ❤
Huh, it turns out I'm doing a lot of the right things just while being out and about with my toddler in the course of the day. No wonder this kid is sitting like it's gonna fall out any moment at only 36 weeks. My pelvis and back are killing me, lol.
This is the video I’ve been looking for. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Positive station , 1 or 2(crowning)
Sit, knees together ankles apart
Thanks so much Chanel, so informative, great to see the visual of skeleton matching the movement breakdown. Makes everything much clearer. Much Love
Glad it was helpful! Are you currently expecting?
@@awerkingmamasince you mentioned that you can be 7cm yet baby is floating, how will I know when I need to open the inlet?
Baby on mid pelvis , 0 station
You may feel more pressure
Uneven hip moments eg marching
Curb walking
Lunge on elevated surface
Swaying left to right
I’m saving this to my watch later list!!!! I do not want to be endused . I also am very distressed about going to the hospital … I will be using this video !!! I’m due in 5 days
How'd it go mama?!
Mid pelvis or active labour
Uneven hip movement
Kerb walking
Lift one leg at a time
Sway left to right
Lunge I’m elevated surface
So so so helpful! One question, when should we head to the hospital? Is it when the baby is at a positive station or 0 station? I watched one of your videos on this and you said to wait until contractions are 3:1:1 (among other factors). What about the pelvis station?
Thank you for your content! I follow you and listen to your videos on Instagram. But I was just curious as to where you get your artwork? It's beautiful!
Aww thanks so much! We got it from Etsy (I believe). Our friend helped us pick these out.
Bit of a dumb question! Should we be doing these positions during contractions or between contractions? Or both? Thank you so much for all this content, it has been the most helpful.
I love her videos!! I wish I was able to get you as a midwife but I’m from LA I have no idea what area your from 😭 also my due date is today but no baby yet so I would’ve loved your support because the hospital is so negative ..
I wish we could have connected sooner! I am in Texas but offer virtual support and would have loved to work with you. Praying for you mama!
I’m watching all these videos on station. My baby is -2 close to -1 so I want all the info to help baby descend
Be patient and move your body. Baby will move down :)
plz make a video on how to avoid fetal distress during natural labor and y does it occur?
Is there anything we need to do to ensure baby is in a good position before trying to move baby down or these movements also help move baby into optimal position?
These positions definitely encourage good position but you can also walk, do inversions and sit on your birth ball instead of a chair.
I wish I could’ve gone with a midwife 😢… I’m giving birth at a hospital if they have me laying down face up what would be the best position?
They can’t control what position you are in. Unless baby is in distress, you can move about as needed. They normally leave you alone to labor anyway.
Can you feel in your body where the baby is positioned or do you need to rely on cervical exams and instinct?
Great question! I'm wondering the same thing!! 37 wks along here.
There's a thing called belly mapping that can help you know the position of your baby! In labor, it's also helpful to understand baby's station. I have a video series on this. Check it out!
