Tips To Help Get Labor Started
To encourage labor, it's important to position the baby properly in the pelvis. This can help avoid irregular, prodromal labor and stimulate the release of prostaglandins to ripen the cervix. Exercises to aid this include open knee chest position for 5-10 minutes, lunging and psoas stretching to give more space in the uterus, hip openers using a ball, chair, or floor, deep squats for pelvic floor strength, and gentle swaying on a birthing ball in U or 8 patterns. These methods aim to open the pelvis, allowing the baby to descend and rotate if necessary.

Pelvic Floor Stretches for Birth | Action Jacquelyn | Best Pregnancy Stretches | Prenatal Yoga
Releasing your Pelvic Floor is just as important as strengthening your pelvic floor because you don’t use your pelvic floor muscles to give birth. The PF needs to relax and open so that the uterus can contract and push the baby down. I usually end my workouts and day with one or all of these pregnancy stretches, and love that they can all be done at home in bed for when you’re super tired. • Cat/cow pose • Hip circles • Wide child’s pose • Pigeon pose • Knee to shoulder I’m putting together a Pelvic Floor stretching series for my Barre Definition app, good for pre-and post-natal.
