Hip and knee position on the birth ball
by Bhadra
Back pain during labor and contractions is a huge fear amongst women who are expecting their first child. You can help ease this with correct positioning while sitting on the birth ball. I'm a Doula from the US and I'd like to add that it is helpful that when siiting on the ball, you keep your pelvis about 4 inches above the level of your knees. This position helps keep pressure off your lower back and helps bring the weight of the baby forward. Of course also keep feet flat on the floor. By the way - I love your website. |
