One topic that I love learning and talking about is perinatal wellness. Our preconception, prenatal, and postpartum chapters are such special times. It’s important that we as women prioritize our physical, mental and emotional well-being. In this video, we’re going to cover some ways to do that as we discuss prepping the body for birth.
There are so many effective ways to help prepare the mind and body for baby’s arrival. The better we’re able to care for ourselves during this time of change, the better we’ll be able to adjust to this ever-evolving experience. I also think it’s helpful to approach this from a holistic standpoint. Taking the time to assess if we’re caring for the whole person and not just one part is key.
In this video, we’ll look at a few ways that we can care for our physical, mental, and emotional self. And this list could go on! Listening to birth stories and exploring the birth-work field has been amazing. You’re able to hear of different experiences and learn about valued and upheld practices. You also can build a support system that can be there to nurture you along your journey.
Below are the topics we touch on when exploring ways of prepping the body for birth:
- Practice breathwork.
- Move your body.
- Incorporate pelvic floor work.
- Rest when you need it.
- Eat nutritious food.
- Maintain a mindset of ease.
