Mini Birthing Course!
How to support your Body and Baby during Labor with the right Breathing Techniques and how you should NOT breathe during Labor
Learn how to breathe during Labor!
Most women believe that breathing techniques for labor are just esoteric hocus pocus that – at best – help you stay more relaxed during labor.
As a result, most women, particularly women who have plans to have an epidural, do not even look into breathing techniques in preparation for labor.
However, in our free mini birthing webinar, we are going to show (and prove to) you that breathing techniques are a very powerful tool that allow you to support your body, your baby and your labor in many different ways:
GET TO KNOW 2 HIGHLY EFFECTIVE BREATHING TECHNIQUES
We will introduce two very simple but highly effective breathing techniques for your labor! While both techniques can be a BIG help during labor, the second technique can be particularly powerful because it is a combination of a breathing technique and a vocal technique.
UNDERSTAND THE EFFECT OF BREATHING ON YOUR BODY
We use a measurement device in order to compare both breathing techniques – that we introduce you to – with tense breathing. Moreover, we show you how each breathing technique affects your body, your baby and your labor. Plus, we also show you what happens if you don’t care about your breathing at all.
LEARN HOW TO USE YOUR BREATHING TO...
… reduce the level of stress hormones in your body (remember: stress hormones can interfere with labor hormones)
… help your body produce more labor hormones
… keep labor going (which is particularly relevant if you have plans to have an epidural!)
… activate your body’s own pain management system
… support your baby’s descent in your pelvis and birth canal
… increase the oxygen supply to your baby during a contraction (highly relevant in case baby’s heart rate drops)
… and much more!
UNDERSTAND WHAT ELSE PLAYS A ROLE
Applying the right breathing technique during labor is key! However, it is only "one piece of the puzzle". A smooth delivery requires the interplay of many different factors. In the second part of our free Mini Birthing Course, we explain what those factors are and how you can prepare for them.
DOWNLOAD OUR "BREATHING HANDOUT"
At the end of our Mini Birthing Course, we give you a handout about our breathing techniques to download! It does not only contain everything that we cover in our course. It also includes additional highly relevant information, such as:
– the best timing to apply breathing techniques during a contraction
– the effect of your breathing on your pelvic floor (highly relevant for the pushing phase!!)
– at what breathing rate the oxygen supply to your baby is optimal
– and much more!
