You started doing these 3 exercises and now… you feel more confident moving your hips and finding comfortable birth positions. 🤰✨
When it comes to preparing for birth, it’s not just about stretching your hips.
It’s about becoming familiar with different positions, movements and ways of using your body so that when labour comes, you have more options to explore.
Try these 3:
1️⃣ Supported squat
Practise lowering and rising with support, exploring a comfortable range and getting used to having your hips in a more open position.
2️⃣ Rocking Child’s Pose
A gentle way to move your pelvis forwards and backwards while finding a rhythm that feels comfortable.
3️⃣ Supported kneeling lunge
Explore movement through one hip at a time and practise changing your weight and position with support.
The aim isn’t to find the one perfect birth position.
It’s about giving yourself options.
During labour, you might want to stand, kneel, squat, lean forwards, move your hips or change positions regularly — and knowing what feels comfortable before the day can help you feel more confident exploring those options.
And remember, your birth may not go exactly as planned. That’s okay. Preparation isn’t about controlling the outcome — it’s about helping you feel more familiar and confident with your body and the choices available to you. 🤍
Save this reel and practise these movements throughout pregnancy.
Follow for pregnancy yoga, Pilates and movement to help you feel strong, comfortable and confident throughout pregnancy and beyond.
