Today’s Birth story was with one of our NBC mamas Kodi. Kodi is an amazing example of holding the delicate balance of holding on tight to what you can control and accepting and releasing what you can’t control.

This Birth story was with one of our NBC mamas Jum. The dedication to her birth prep, the epic responsibility of her CHOICE to be empowered, the ownership she took of her birth is HER responsibility and the amazing perspective of with birth and motherhood isn’t right or wrong, fully embodying the concept of I get to write my own individual birth and motherhood experience I just adore.

Posterior labours often get a bad wrap- YES they can be know more for difficult and painful labours HOWEVER- They are not impossible to have naturally and they can be a powerful, amazing, intuitive birth experience.

This post will specifically talk about WHY preparing the partner is important and HOW to prepare your birth partner.

We often prioritise the physical preparation for birth and like to diagnose physical problems as to why birth may not have gone to plan, this is because physical obstacles are tangible, they make sense to our logical minds. However, what I feel here at NBC is that our mental game is more of the priority.

Here at Natural Birth Co when we discuss the preparation required to birth naturally we look at this from 3 aspects:

Preparing Mentally, Preparing Physically And Preparing your Partner

Vaginal Births After C-Section and how to prepare for one

labouring and birthing a posterior baby does tend to be a longer and hard labour. Now I don’t say this to scare you or put fear into you but to simply set the expectation so that you know what you are experiencing is NORMAL and it is not your body not ‘progressing’, it is not your baby ‘being naughty’ but it is simply the natural way your body births.

Posterior bubs and the myth of Optimal positioning.

We used to think there was one Optimal Fetal Position (OFP) and one only.
