Pregnancy Body Balancing
Spinning Babies®: Creating balance for a better pregnancy and birth.
What is Spinning Babies®?
Two of the main tenets of Spinning Babies are:
Physiology Before Force and Balance First
Spinning Babies is a physiological approach to preparing for and caring for pregnancy and birth, based on 3 principles:
Balance | Gravity | Movement
Babies will fill the space they have!
The space they have is defined by more than just the bones of the pelvis
It is also determined by the level of tension/relaxation and imbalance/balance in muscles, fascia, ligaments, and even the state of the nervous system.
Head down is only part of fetal positioning!
The angle of the head (flexion or extension of the neck) is also important
Babies fit like a puzzle piece as they travel down and through the pelvis. Contact with maternal structures causes their head and neck to flex or to extend and their head and shoulders to rotate.
Encouraging balance in the pregnant person’s muscles, fascia, ligaments and nervous system helps baby to move through the pelvis in the most easeful way possible.
