Take your understanding of childbirth to the next level in this class designed for expectant parents with a curriculum that comes straight from the wisdom of Spinning Babies ®. Take this special class in addition to a birthing class that goes over the basics of labor and what to expect in labor. This class aims to provide practical tools and confidence to help you feel more prepared and informed about the birthing process.
The Spinning Babies Birth Preparation Class in ABQ focuses on techniques and exercises to help expectant parents optimize the baby’s position in the womb for a smoother labor and delivery. Discover how to bring practical solutions into your labor to help it progress smoothly, whether or not you’re planning to use pain medications. Here’s a general class description:
The class will include simple movements to help prepare the body for labor that are advised to practice daily or a few times each week, partner “balancing” exercises (that feel great) to help open specific regions of the pelvis to help baby navigate their way through (which are very useful in early labor and labor), and clear explanations with 3-D models to show the anatomy of childbirth and how specific movements can help to widen the pelvis in the correct place to help baby move through with much greater ease and potentially less time.
Key Topics Covered:
- Understanding Fetal Positioning: Learn how your baby’s position in the womb can impact labor and delivery.
- The Three Principles: Explore the three core principles of Spinning Babies®: Balance, Gravity, and Movement.
- Exercises and Techniques: Practice specific exercises and movements to encourage optimal fetal positioning.
- Comfort Measures: Discover strategies to relieve discomfort during pregnancy and prepare your body for labor.
- Partner Involvement: Gain tools to involve your birth partner in supporting you through these techniques.
A partner or friend is needed for this class. The price allows entry for a pregnant person (at least 20 weeks) and a support person. $220 plus tax (no tax charged if you pay cash). A birthing peanut ball and gift bag is included. Einstein’s bagels, tea, and water are available for your enjoyment.
Monthly Classes include:
- BIRTHING ANATOMY: Birthing anatomy will become clear with the use of 3-D models and explanations that will help you practically apply physiological awareness into your birth. The 3 levels of the pelvis will be shown, & positions to open each level will be clearly explained & practiced.
- DAILY ACTIVITIES: Simple & beginner-friendly movements to prepare the body for labor that encourage the body’s muscles & ligaments to be supple and the pelvis to be mobile.
- THE BELLY MAPPING ® METHOD: A method of tuning in to where your baby is for bonding & how to determine their position.
- THE 3 BALANCES: Exercises to restore the body’s balance. These techniques are practical methods to relieve pain in pregnancy & to create more mobility & space in the pelvis (& uterus) to help baby navigate their way through the pelvis w/ greater ease & less pain.
- POSITIONS TO HELP CREATE SPACE FOR BABY: These movements, along w/ the 3 Balances, will help address what to do if labor stalls occur, if there are contractions w/out dilation in labor, if baby seems “stuck”, or if the laborer is experiencing more pain than seems necessary.
