In this episode of the MamasteFit Podcast, hosts Gina, a perinatal fitness trainer and birth doula, and Roxanne, a labor and delivery nurse and student midwife, discuss the various labor positions and movements to support your baby's navigation through the pelvis. They emphasize that there is no one single best labor position or best position for your baby, and forcing your baby into a specific position during pregnancy is unnecessary. The episode delves into the different pelvic levels, the baby's positions during pregnancy and labor, and how to support optimal movement through preparation and varied labor positions. Additionally, the hosts share insights on prenatal fitness programs, the importance of listening to your intuition, and how to adapt to different positions for a more positive labor experience.
