Why Fetal Positioning?

As Gayle Peterson says in her great birthing manual “Birthing Normally” – so a woman lives, so shall she birth’.  

This means that if you are not comfortable in yourself, but need people to tell you what to do, reassure you, and act as experts before you do anything, you are run by fear and disempowered by life. This can be highlighted when pregnant - when you may revert to a child-like state and can’t let your body do what it is designed to do.
If this is you what I have written here, and in fact in any of my work, may be very confronting for you. 

If you naturally seek why and don’t accept but have to work things out for yourself you will be very happy you dropped by and started reading.

Childbirth - Does it have to Hurt?

Who are we worrying about hurting?

Perhaps when we forgot about BIRTHING WITHOUT VIOLENCE.
As a mother who used this book as my bible, as Ina May’s Spiritual Midwifery was a few months too late for my first baby, I followed as we all do, what I thought would be best.  Recently, as I work with women through what happened in their last birth or to help them achieve what they want with THIS birth, I see that we could do well to look at baby – and in a baby friendly way, start to birth better.

Why bother - surely there is a pill I can take?

YES IT DOES TAKE EFFORT ti to undo where you are.
  • Taking a pill and keeping on doing what is CAUSING the red warning light on your dashboard to light up.
  • Ignoring it by taking a pill and continuing to pretend that is all you need to do is not sensible - any more than taping over the red light on your car's dashboard as it irritates you when driving.
  • Your body is perfectly designed to heal/fix itself.
  • What are YOU doing to prevent this?
  • Ultimately NOT allowing self healing will only cause a long term bigger hassle for yourself - not felt NOW but later - and 'LATER' does come around . . .

Why change what you eat?

Because often that is ALL you need to do to completely turn around whatever it is that you have been told you have 'wrong' with you.

Undo the 'getting ill' process - get well again. Reverse out . .

Follow what your body needs - not what you think is good or what you want to do.

How to do this?

"Caffeine and fetal growth restriction"

Research published in the British Medical Journal on Maternal caffeine intake during pregnancy and risk of fetal growth restriction concluded:

"Caffeine consumption during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of fetal growth restriction and this association continued throughout pregnancy.
Sensible advice would be to reduce caffeine intake before conception and throughout pregnancy."

'What Dad's Can Do'
- Camille (Brisbane)

I met you when I thought my baby was breach but as he had turned you gave us massage technique and all the remedies for an easier birth - I have to tell you - you were right, that my baby would '' fall out''.  I started having contractions at 6am, got to the hospital at 7.30am and had him at 8am.  It was so quick, drug free and no stitches. SO THANK YOU.  He was a big bub, 9lb 3oz.
