Learn how to prepare for homebirth from a pelvic floor physical therapist and homebirth mom of 2!
Humans learn through modeling, but there isn’t a lot of support and information around homebirth.
And if you’re planning to have a homebirth, your pelvic floor will be your baby's portal to this world. Your pelvic floor muscles are affected by birth and they also affect your birth! Preparing your pelvic floor for childbirth requires specific knowledge, correct action, and body awareness.
But the shame and taboo surrounding the pelvic floor in our current society keeps you disconnected from your body and interferes with your ability to have a smooth childbirth experience.
So how do you expect to feel prepared and confident for your homebirth without knowing how to prepare for childbirth?
Preparing your mind, body, and pelvic floor for childbirth is the BEST way to get the homebirth you desire.
And this is exactly what you’ll learn in Progressive Pregnancy.

Why You NEED to Plan and Get Support For Your Homebirth
There aren't a lot of resources or support around homebirth, and this is an especially delicate time where support is important!
Many people are uneducated about homebirth so it’s likely that you may face strong opposition to your choice
The media sensationalizes birth as painful and chaotic so you might have negative beliefs around birth and fears about childbirth because of it, which can negatively impact your birth experience
Society normalizes a medicalized birth with numerous interventions, so there aren't a lot of examples of natural, unmedicated birth. Having a supportive, like-minded community can help you have the birth you want!
Remember…
Just because your body knows how to birth your baby doesn't mean you can't do things to help your childbirth go smoother
Your homebirth midwife can't teach you everything she knows about birth, so educating yourself is important. Be an active participant in your care - no one knows what you’re going through except you!
ONLY relying on what you learn in childbirth classes is not enough. Your pelvic floor is the portal through which your baby enters the world. Helping your pelvic floor do it’s job and protecting it during labor requires specific knowledge, correct action, and body awareness
