In today’s episode, Anita talks about something that she goes through with her prenatal physio clients, students in Bump to Birth, and recently in her live, prenatal pelvic floor masterclass: PRACTICING! Strategies for labor, pushing, and support (for partner/birthing support persons). Now you will. Even if your birthing experience takes twists and turns, you will be informed and feel confident in asking questions to navigate those situations for a positive birth experience.
