As your Doula, I may not make suggestions for labor positions unless there’s a need or you ask and we make plans for that. There are so many tips, tricks, and positions to help open the pelvis and wiggle baby further down. We can move and change positions as much as we need to. Sometimes these suggestions are merely just suggestions. We don’t necessarily need to make things go “faster” unless we do need to move quick. Sometimes, all we need is patience and to listen to what our bodies need from us. So yes, definitely practice all of the positions during pregnancy for labor. I encourage that, as well as body awareness! Utilize what you practice during labor and ask yourself what feels right, for you during those intense moments. You don’t have to do anything and you may gravitate to exactly what you need on your own.

Embracing the sensations of labor and transition can look different for everyone. We often need reminders to soften our bodies, not to tense up, and to keep our sounds (no matter how loud, be loud if you need) low. Allow your body to sink into whatever you are resting on. It’s okay to let go and let your body work, it’s work is purposeful.

Support during labor can be just as instinctual and primal as labor, for some partners. They may know exactly what you need in those moments, where you are surrendering to your body and how it moves. They can move with you.

One of my favorite parts about supporting people in labor is that realization they might have that they are in fact in labor, when they’ve been doubting it. It is happening! I’ve been there, too. It’s an “Aha!” kind of moment, filled with a mixture of anticipation and peace. Your baby is on their way!
