Gina and Roxanne break down the importance of various movement patterns and labor positions to create space in the pelvis during pregnancy and childbirth. The sisters emphasize that there is no single “best” position, but rather a range of movements that can help facilitate labor progress. They explain how to prepare the body during pregnancy through exercises like hip shifts, pelvic tilts, and spinal mobility. This talk also covers how to address common issues during labor using specific movements and positions, but again, they stress the importance of practicing these movements during pregnancy to be better prepared for labor!
