Ep#45: Everything You Need To Know About Labor And Birth Preparation with Andrea Simianer Part 2
Are you a mama-to-be who finds herself stressing about factors you can't control, especially when it comes to birth preparation? How do you plan your birth preparation and how do you prepare yourself during the delivery?
This week’s Empower Your Pelvis Podcast, Dr. Amanda Fisher is back with our guest, Andrea Simianer. Andrea is a wife, and mom to a toddler, a baby in heaven, and one on the way. She is the Children’s Ministry Director at her church, enjoys staying active with her family, and loves trying new foods! She was excited to take the Birth Prep Course with Empower Your Pelvis to help her better prepare her pelvic floor this pregnancy. She truly believes it helps to empower women to feel more confident in giving birth in whatever way they choose, or it happens!
In this episode, Amanda and Andrea will be talking about what you need to know when you plan different options during the birth preparation and what plan for your baby's birth needs to take into consideration before your birth delivery.
They will touch on such topics as:
- A woman needs to realize that there isn't a “perfect birth” but an array of options she can choose from during her labor and delivery period.
- It's okay for mamas to plan for a scheduled cesarean section (often called C-section) and need some reassurance from their care providers.
- Deep breathing is an important skill used in birth preparation. It helps to focus on the rhythms of your body, to center yourself and relax. It's a simple trick you can use to overcome stress or anxiety, no matter what's been plaguing you recently.
- The preparations you have made to extend your pelvic bones by becoming more flexible will help your baby fit through the birth canal, a hip mobility routine is an excellent way to prepare because in addition to putting you in a good position while pushing and reducing pressure on your cervix, it will also improve blood flow and oxygenation to the perineum which encourages optimal healing after delivery.
- Pelvic floor therapy can help with back pain and it can help set me up for a better chance of not having such severe and not having such big back issues during the first year of postpartum.
