Pushing a baby out is NOT just about pushing harder. 👀

Your ability to effectively deliver a baby involves a whole-body coordination between:

🫁 Breathing → helps you manage pressure
🔥 Abdominal pressure → creates the downward force you need
🍑 Pelvic floor → needs to be able to RELAX, lengthen, and get out of the way

Because here’s the thing…

A pelvic floor that can only squeeze is not necessarily a pelvic floor that is prepared for birth.

You need to be able to generate pressure AND release the pelvic floor so baby has somewhere to go. 🧈

Think: pressure down + pelvic floor release — not just “CLENCH EVERYTHING AND PUSH.” 😂

And yes, this is something you can actually practice during pregnancy.

Comment PUSH and I’ll send you my FREE guide to help you understand how to coordinate your breathing, abdominal pressure + pelvic floor for birth. 🤰🏼🧘🏼‍♀️

✨ Strong core. Strong pregnancy. Strong postpartum. ✨

Contrary to what you’ve probably heard… you should be training your core during pregnancy. 💪

The key isn’t avoiding core exercises—it’s choosing the right ones.

Give these pregnancy-safe core exercises a try and remember: your core is so much more than just your abs. 🤍

🔥 THE RING OF FIRE 🔥

If you’re pregnant and have never heard of this… consider this your warning 😂

That intense burning/stretching sensation during the final moments of pushing? Yep. That’s the infamous “ring of fire.”

It happens as baby’s head stretches the vaginal opening and surrounding tissues — and while it can feel INTENSE, it also means baby is getting very, very close to being earthside. 🥹🫶🏼

And this is exactly why learning how to relax your pelvic floor and prepare your body for birth matters.

Because birth prep isn’t just about getting stronger. It’s also about learning how to LET GO. 🧈

If your pelvis feels like it’s literally RIPPING APART during pregnancy… stop doing things that make it worse. 👀

You don’t need to just “push through” p***c symphysis pain because you’re pregnant.

Try these 3 tiny changes instead:

✨ Get dressed sitting down — especially when putting on pants, shoes, underwear, etc.
✨ Roll in bed with your knees together — less pelvic twisting = less irritation.
✨ Take smaller steps when walking — you don’t win a prize for taking giant strides, girlie. 😂

These seem SO simple, but they can make everyday movement way more comfortable when your pelvis is already irritated.

And no, pregnancy does not mean you have to accept pelvic pain as your new personality!!

Getting an epidural does NOT mean you have to give birth flat on your back.

If you’re able to safely move with assistance, you may still have options for different labor + pushing positions. And honestly? Gravity can be your bestie. ✨

Research suggests alternative/upright positions may help with:
✨ Shortening the pushing stage
✨ Reducing assisted vaginal deliveries
✨ Reducing the need for episiotomy

Some options to ask your care team about:
✨ Side-lying
✨ Hands & knees/quadruped
✨ Supported kneeling or other upright positions

HOWEVER your mobility, sensation, monitoring, baby’s position, and medical situation all matter, so talk with your care team about what is MOST SAFE FOR YOU as these alternative positions are not appropriate for everyone and every vaginal birth.

Pelvic pain during pregnancy? 🫠 You do NOT have to force yourself through every “labor prep” exercise you see online.

If p***c symphysis pain is making traditional lunges, squats, or wide-leg positions feel awful, try these instead:

✨ Quadruped hip internal rotation rock backs
✨ Reverse clamshells
✨ Seated narrow windshield wipers

The goal isn’t to “push through” pain — it’s to find movements that feel supportive for YOUR body while still preparing for birth. 🤰🏼

💩 POOPING DURING LABOR = NOT A BAD THING, GIRLIE.

In fact… it can be a sign that your pelvic floor is RELAXING 👏🏼

Your pelvic floor needs to be able to lengthen and relax to make room for baby — so if your body decides to 💩 while you’re pushing, it’s basically saying:

“Yep, we’re opening up down here.” 😂

And no, you do NOT need to be embarrassed. Your birth team has seen it all. Promise.

✨ 4 things I want on your birth-prep checklist:

1️⃣ Know your provider’s episiotomy rate
Episiotomies aren’t something that should automatically happen during birth. They can be appropriate in certain situations, but routine use isn’t recommended.

Ask your provider:
“How often do you perform episiotomies?”
Knowing their approach ahead of time can help you have a much more informed conversation about your preferences.

2️⃣ Know your pushing options
There’s more than one way to push!

Holding your breath and bearing down with maximal effort (aka closed-glottis pushing) can create a LOT of pressure through your pelvic floor.

Open-glottis pushing — exhaling, grunting, or breathing through the push — is another option and may feel more controlled for some people.

3️⃣ Know that fully dilated ≠ you have to immediately start pushing
Depending on your situation, you may be able to wait for baby to descend and/or for that natural urge to push to kick in.

Less time actively pushing can mean less time feeling like you have to give it EVERYTHING you’ve got.

This is something to discuss with your birth team because your individual circumstances matter. 💕

4️⃣ Know your birth position options
You are not required to deliver flat on your back.

Side-lying, hands-and-knees, kneeling, supported squat, and other positions can change the way your pelvis moves and may give you more room to work with.

And if you DO end up on your back? That doesn’t mean you’ve “failed” at birth prep. Small positioning changes can still make a difference.

Your birth plan doesn’t need to be a rigid script.
Think of it as a list of things you want to understand, ask about, and advocate for. 🫶🏼

Because the goal isn’t a “perfect” birth.

The goal is walking into your birth feeling like you know your body, your options, and your voice matter.

Save this for your third trimester + send it to your pregnant bestie.
