6 Healthy Birth Practises you should understand

I happened upon these pages this morning, and it's a great little summary of what we teach (in more detail) in The Wise Hippo Birthing Programme. Understanding these principles is a great way to optimise yourself to have a 'Good Birth'.

If you're pregnant - and whether or not you want to invest time in a birth preparation course - you should be aware of and understand these little gems;

1; Let labour begin on it's own

2; Walk, move around and change positions during labour

3; Bring a friend, loved one or Doula for support

4; Avoid interventions that are not medically necessary

5; Avoid giving birth on your back and follow your body's urges to push

6; Keep Mother and Baby together

Thanks to Lamaze International for this. And don't forget you can contact me for a chat about this, or to enrol on The Wise Hippo Birthing Programme here
