When labor slows down, it can feel discouraging, frustrating, and even lead to unnecessary interventions. This week, I’m breaking down the two biggest culprits that stall labor—and how you can prepare for and prevent them.

Drawing from my experience as both a nurse and a doula, I’ll share:

• The two scenarios I see most often when labor stalls
• Why fear (sometimes hidden or subtle) can disrupt your body’s natural labor flow
• How baby’s position plays a huge role in keeping labor moving
• Practical strategies to protect your birth space, support your body, and work with your baby’s positioning
• Steps you can take during pregnancy to minimize stalls before labor even begins

Mentioned in the episode:

• Spinning Babies: for optimal fetal positioning
