You’ve got to try this one if you find yourself in a scenario where people are saying baby is “stuck,” you’ve been pushing for hours, or there are whispers of needing a cesarean. Your pelvis is a funnel. Baby has to make lots of wiggles and maneuvers to get through - and 🌟 Knees In, Feet Out 🌟 pushing opens the BOTTOM of the funnel (where babies may get “stuck”). 📌 In any pushing position (on the back, on the side, hands and knees, squatting), if you rotate your KNEES TOGETHER (and feet apart) your femur(s) rotate in such a way that the BOTTOM of the pelvis opens. 🙌🏼 Pulling your legs way back (like we’re often told to do (and yes, I’m guilty as an RN of teaching and encouraging that sometimes)) is really the opposite of what the pelvis/baby need! 👉🏼 This can feel hard to do -
