 | Standing position Leaning forward is a position for managing back labor - it helps get a posterior baby with the hard part of baby's head against mom's back off of her sacrum and ease some of the nerve pain that makes back labor so uncomfortable. |
|  | Rocking or Rhythmic Motion Some couples find it feels better to rock and sway in rhythm to her breathing - obviously not in labor in this picture - it's the closest I could find in my images! |
|  | Seated position Another choice for back labor that has mom leaning forward; also good for rocking and rhythmic motion when you use a birth ball or a rocking chair. This particular scenario allows access to massage mom at many different points. |

 We have had a couple of students have had textbook “NAPS” in
the last two classes…and since we still have several couples waiting for their
babies, I thought this might be a reminder and an inspiration to them for their
labors. NAP – no, they didn’t take epic
naps in labor (although I am a big advocate for sleeping in labor)…what it
means is that they were very patient in their labors.

We started seeing Dr. Ross when Bryan was breech
in-utero. His care has positively
impacted my health and made our last pregnancy feel like my best one ever. Not wanting to keep the goodness to ourselves, we
invite him to come speak to our students as a free bonus class. They hear about the many ways chiropractic care may benefit them during pregnancy,
postpartum and their nursing relationship.
