Mujer Alumba en Motoconcho, No Le Dio Tiempo Entrar Al Hospital

Ok, you’re going to have to watch the first 30 seconds a few times. This birth will first confuse you because the mother is leaning back on a motor cycle! She’s just been driven into the ER which I think is quite resourceful. (The sound is terrible. Its probably videoed from a cell phone.) Ok, […]

Pelvimetry Can Still Be Worth Something

Pelvimetry has been abandoned by many as meaningless. It may not have importance to those who do not know what changes they might make in their practice protocols for variations in pelvi. For those who know that the pelvis is dynamic and changeable, there are women whose can adapt their birth preparation to their pelvic […]

March of Dimes: Preterm Birth Rates Improve in Most States

March of Dimes: Preterm Birth Rates Improve in Most States This is one group I have turned around on. We can reduce the prematurity rate. 1. Don’t get induced! 2. Eat well -lots of dark leafy greens and other veggies, a bit of fresh fruit, meat and fish soups with boiled bone broth, a bit […]

Spinning Babies Model at the Class

When I do a Spinning Babies class, I ask the local hostess(es) to ask a local pregnant woman to come be our morning model. From 10:30-12 she helps us with Belly Mapping and the Pregnancy Protocol, heavily featuring Dynamic Body Balancing (Dr. Carol Phillips, DC). In Atlanta, GA, the first full day, and a Saturday […]

How I Came to Be the Spinning Babies Lady

Leslie Lytle, a sponsor for the Spinning Babies and Resolving Shoulder Dystocia Workshops in Richmond, VA this year (2011) asked me how I came to the concepts behind my approach. I didn’t come through academia. The community called me out. In the hospital, I saw babies handled at birth with no understanding of their awareness […]

Pelvic Floor Protection

A Spinning Babies visitor- “I along with many women, would greatly appreciate any info you could provide as to what to do during pregnancy and especially during the pushing phase that would prevent pelvic organ prolapse (rectocele, cystocele, uterocele, etc.) from occurring, or at least help keep any current prolapse from worsening.” For your pelvic […]

Blizzard of Breeches

I love this story, so romantic, in the sense of a baby coming during a blizzard. https://douglaston.patch.com/articles/douglaston-brothers-deliver-baby-during-blizzard Guess the baby wanted to test the temp and put his little toes out first. I’d love to know the details. Meanwhile, a midwife texted me that she had a surprise breech with a first time mom. This […]

Flexion, Looking “Down”

A woman wrote me today saying she’s due now but her baby isn’t engaged. Her doctor said her baby is on her left facing her right hip and looking down. Was that a problem she asked? I began to answer in one way and suddenly realized as I wrote that I wasn’t sure exactly what […]

Nurses and Spinning Babies

Today, some sweet Labor and Delivery nurses, who may want to keep quiet about their Spinning Babies plans and do will remain anonymous until they say that I can brag about their individual beautifulnesses, talked with me about what activities they could teach and do with a pregnant woman in prenatal testing sessions. We talked […]

Fetal Position and Thyroid

Check out this post at Perfect Health Diet on Thyroid health and breech rates. We have also heard that low thyroid is associated with posterior babies. Optimal TSH levels are not what the current tests indicate. This is obvious to anyone struggling with thyroid symptoms who is told their levels are normal. Read the fine […]

A Doula Once Again…

Sometimes I ponder if a birth I attend will be my last one. I don’t know, I’ve always been on the verge of some ending or another. This summer God gave me another chance and so did a mother from Wisconsin. Well, actually, I asked her if I could be her doula! Can you believe […]
