A “stalled labor” is one of the biggest fears women have about natural birth. “Failure to progress,” as it’s called in the medical lingo, can bring on interventions or even lead to a cesarean section. Fortunately there are a number of techniques you can try to get labor moving - and they’re effective. 

The Birth Baby and Life Podcast

Listen in to find out how you can keep your labor moving and deliver your baby smoothly and naturally!

Topics I Cover in This Podcast:

  • Why stalled labor is a concern for moms and babies
  • The most important thing for you to do before you go into labor (this may be tough to think about, but I promise you it’s worth it)
  • What hormones control labor - and why knowing about them is key to a smooth birth
  • How to make interruptions work FOR you during labor (yes - there’s a time and place!)
  • Why food is your friend during labor (and how quick sugar can turn a labor stall around - fast)
  • How to get up and moving to bring your baby down
  • An OB discovered a secret that gets almost all stalled labors moving again
  • Why rest is essential to giving birth
  • Which natural “big guns” to have in your toolkit - and when to bring them out
  • Making sure you’re free from fear and ready to give birth
  • Is this really labor? (hint, sometimes practice labor stops - and that’s okay!)
