Throughout labor you may notice your body giving you breaks. This is by design đź’«
Birth pauses may happen for different reasons, whether it’s to give your body a moment to rest and regain energy for the next phase of labor, maybe there is a change in labor patterns, the baby’s position, when there are changes in emotions, or changes in the environment. All of these are very normal!
When these pauses happen, we trust the wisdom of the body and support it to pause and rest. Oftentimes a few minutes of rest can do more good for your body than pushing through for another hour. đź’—
