Do you want to prepare for labor and childbirth without problems? A Doula can help ease the process. Lauren Brockman Andre invites an expert Doula, Lindsey Bliss, to give advice to mothers on how they can prepare for that time of labor and eventually childbirth. Some of her advice includes the expectant mother helping her partner to support her through labor and delivery. The partner can attend childbirth education classes, and read pregnancy and childbirth books. Also, mothers should be doing lunges and climbing steps for when the baby rotates to the back. This can prevent back labor. These exercises will make the baby go off the back. To derive more benefits from her advice, you should read the article or even buy her recent book, “The Doula’s guide to empowering your birth,” which is available on Amazon.

Key Takeaways:

• You should help your partner to support you while you are in labor and expecting delivery. He could attend childbirth classes or read up related books.
• Sometimes, the baby moves to the back therefore causing back labor. You can prevent this by doing lunges or climbing steps.
• Try to rest during early labor. The road ahead may be long or short. Try to anticipate it. You could even watch a comedy as a distraction.

“Hands and knees is a great laboring position because it helps encourage the baby into the optimal fetal position for birthing. It can also take the pressure off of the sacrum and make the contractions more manageable.”
