Birthsmarter 101 - Push Prep

Pushing can be the most dramatic phase of childbirth but often comes without instructions – even in long form childbirth classes (many birth educators, doulas, and labor and delivery nurses don’t truly understand the physiology of the pelvic floor!). With an intense focus on alignment, posture, and pelvic health this 2.5-Hour class will help you stack the cards in your favor in order to reduce the length of time spent pushing, reduce the risk of tearing during delivery, and prepare you for postpartum pelvic floor recovery.

By creating an action plan for at-home practice with long-lasting benefits, this is truly a must-take for every pregnant person.

As a reminder, class is relevant and important for those planning a medicated or unmedicated birth!
