Sarah —better known as the “Labor Junkie RN”— is a practicing high-risk labor nurse, social media influencer, and mom of three.  You may have seen her on Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook sharing evidence-based insights on pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.  She often ends reels with “For more information on pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum, give me a follow and check out my page”.  So, we did—and invited her to share her wisdom with you in this special podcast episode.  As a nurse and mom of three who chose unmedicated births, Sarah brings a unique perspective to the low-intervention birth experience. In this podcast, we talk to her about her choices and tips for others if they plan to have low- intervention births. But she's quick to remind us, she thinks the right choice for birthing families is the choice they make, and hopes we remember that birth is not a competition. Everyone should make their own choices.   Listen and Learn:  Why Sarah decided to make reels for social media—and how she keeps it going  Her passion for informed consent and education  Why she attended a birth class with her husband even though she was already an OB nurse   How planning ahead helps families achieve their birth goals  How she supports her patients in labor specific to their birth plan  When and how parents can ask to change to a nurse who supports their goals in labor  How a doula or other trained labor support person can make a difference  What a difference it can make to stay home in early labor on outcomes  Why she chose not to be induced  How exercise, yoga, and good nutrition helped her through her births  Resources & Mentions:  tiktok.com/@labor_junkie_rn  instagram.com/labor_junkie_rn   facebook.com/LaborJunkieRN   youtube.com/@labor_junkie_rn  Related Products from InJoy:  Understanding Birth  Understanding Natural Childbirth Techniques eClass  Stages of Labor  Pain Management for Childbirth, Volume 1: Comfort Techniques  Related Blogs and Podcasts from InJoy:  Blog: Tips for Teaching a Childbirth Class: Introducing the TENS Unit as a Labor Comfort Measure  Podcast: Spinning Babies – Comfort in Pregnancy and Easier Births with Gail Tully

If you could choose between a functional efficient labor or a dysfunctional and inefficient labor, I'm guessing you would choose functional and efficient labor. I have been to many births as a doula and I've had 2 kids of my own. While the body may need time to open to let the baby descend and rotate, it can be a lot on the parents and support team to go through the experience of a long labor! Today on Yoga| Birth| Babies I have midwife Gail Tully of Spinning Babies back on the podcast. This is her 3rd episode with us and I have to say I absolutely adore speaking with Gail. Today, we talk about how to use Spinning Babies for a smoother, more balanced, more efficient birth. Gail offers us techniques and methodologies to help babies navigate more seamlessly through the pelvis. She talks a lot about the different parts of the pelvis and different techniques to utilize to help the baby through, depending on where the baby is in the pelvis.  You're going to get so much out of this conversation, Gail's a delight to chat with. We're very aligned in our birth philosophies and I have been using the Spinning Babies methodology for years.

Ep 133 Description:  “There are two layers of spinning babies, it is restoring function to the body whether through pregnancy exercises or through body balancing techniques, which a pregnant person can do themselves or the nurse, midwife, or doula at the time of labor can also do it. And the more you do ahead of time, the less you need to do anything at labor.” —Gail Tully   Fetal position is a crucial yet often overlooked factor in the birthing process. Understanding how a baby's orientation within the uterus can impact labor and delivery is key to facilitating a more comfortable and empowered birth experience.   Gail Tully, the visionary founder of Spinning Babies®, has dedicated her life's work to revolutionizing the way we approach childbirth.

In this episode, my friend Gail, the founder of Spinning Babies®, comes back a second time to talk inductions, VBACs, belly mapping, and more! Click here to listen to part 1! Here are the questions we go over!  Inductions are becoming more and more the common thing (at least here in the US) -first off, what are you thoughts on inductions, and how can we still incorporate Spinning Babies methodologies during an induced labor? For moms who plan to VBAC - are there any differences, and/or special considerations you recommend for these moms? Let’s talk about Belly Mapping! (I know this is something you guys coined!) What is Belly Mapping? Any last tips for moms? SPONSOR: This episode was sponsored by Spinning Babies! The word “Spinning” in Spinning Babies® means how babies move through the pelvis to find the most space to come down. What makes birth easier for baby is what makes birth easier for Mom.  Our Spinning Babies® mission is to make physiological birth more accessible to birthing people and providers alike. For instance, we believe that being head down is only half the story. How baby’s head enters the top of the pelvis correlates with length of labor and ease of labor. When facing forward a first baby may not be able to rotate for a day or two. We offer daily activities to add comfort in pregnancy now and ease in labor later.   The Daily Essentials video is the easiest way to learn the habits and moves. Starting in mid-pregnancy is ideal.  The Parent Class video or an in-person Parent Class for late pregnancy. The Parent Class video has lots of labor tips and techniques for comfort and also to help labor stay on track to help avoid cesareans simply because baby’s not aiming into the pelvis.  Does your doctor or midwife require baby to be head down before labor? Do they do cesarean birth for all breeches? Are you pregnant and hoping to avoid surgery? Then the Helping Your Breech Baby Turn eBook is for you. Prepare for an easier childbirth with this eBook, a self-directed 6-day program for pregnant parents with a breech baby developed by a Certified Professional Midwife.

Here are the questions we go over! 1. How did you start Spinning Babies? 2. Ample fetal positioning (specifically, that head-down is not enough), and creating room in a woman’s pelvis are two key points I learned from my spinning babies workshop - can you elaborate on the importance of these regarding labor? 3. Are there exercises/movements/tips you recommend we implement during pregnancy for an easier labor? 4. I often have women asking “how do I turn my breech baby?”, do you have advice, best resources on this question? 5. What about posterior babies (they are so common) - how can we prevent or avoid a posterior position during labor?  6. Let’s talk about asyncliticism - what that is, and how to overcome a baby who is asynclitic.   See SpinningBabies.com for more information on Gail Tully, the Approved Trainers and Spinning Babies.   Interested in bringing Gail or another Approved Trainer to your city?

SPECIAL EPISODE - Interview w/ Julie Wiebe, PT (website, Instagram, and Twitter) Six pearls: Low back pain, incontinence, and painful sex aren’t inevitable after pregnancy, we have new tools to help. Kegels are not the beginning and end of what we can offer patients. Our new tools include a growing understanding that the pelvic floor doesn’t act alone to maintain continence. The pelvic floor is part of the team of muscles that provide “core” stability”, that same system of muscles helps maintain continence. Intra-abdominal pressure management strategies are critical for preventing pelvic health considerations, and need to be addressed in pregnancy recovery and return to fitness programs. Returning to activity and fitness postpartum women need more parameters than “listen to your body”, they need to know what to listen for (pain or leaking are both signals that they need to modify a movement or allow for more recovery). A place to partner between doctors/midwives and rehab/fitness is to help us get baselines in order to help women have more realistic expectations of what recovery looks like (ex: get a diastasis measurement early in pregnancy or pre-pregnancy).

Failure to progress is the number one reason first time mothers end up having an unplanned cesarean birth. Many times the cause of the cervix failing to open is related to the baby’s position and how is it rotating through the pelvis and applying pressure onto the cervix. While some misalignments may not be able to be corrected, learning how to create balance in the birthing person’s bony pelvis and soft muscle tissue can best support baby’s chance of finding an easier exit. In today’s episode of Yoga | Birth | Babies, I have the pleasure of speaking with Gail Tully, certified professional midwife (CPM) and birth doula (DONA), and founder of www.SpinningBabies.com. Gail and I discus the principals of Spinning Babies and the how the position of the baby and the balance in the birthing person’s body plays a vital role in the ease and functionality of birth. For expectant mothers, partners and birth workers, the podcast will offer take a tips to help prepare the body for birth.

Your pelvic floor is one of those things that you take for granted before giving birth. It's just there. Then you give birth and it's not! After my first pregnancy, I went to a weekly buggy workout where we were talked through the kegel exercises and I remember being so utterly bored by them that I quickly lost interest in doing them. Give me crunches or squats any day, but kegels?! [spp-player] All those well meaning pieces of advice about doing them while sitting at a red light or while making a cup of tea didn't help at all. My head is way too full of thoughts to remember doing things like that. The thing is, I'm paying for it now. I didn't realise quite how much until I went trampolining with my daughter. Yikes! Well after ten minutes, let's just say that I was sitting it out. So, when I'm sitting here telling you how important it is to look after your pelvic floor, I mean it! Thankfully, I have Anita Lambert on the podcast today, who is going to help you look after your pelvic floor. But not only that, but she is also going to share with us her wonderful positive birth story. Anita starting listening to the podcast before she was pregnant as she wanted information for her pregnancy and post-natal clients. Then she got pregnant and had two super reasons for listening. She also shares how she used the head trash clearance method to tackle some of her fears duing her pregnancy. One of the fears Anita worked on during her pregnancy was her fear of pain and interestingly, she says that she didn't really experience pain during labour. I say "interestingly" because I'm sure that has a lot to do with the fact that she didn't fear it. There is a known scientific link between a fear of pain and our experience of it and *that* is why is find that so interesting! Anita went on to have a lovely birth which you can hear all about. Here she is with her gorgeous little daughter!   Looking after your pelvic floor Anita is a physio from Toronto who works with women during pregnancy and afterwards to help them to improve their pregnancy and birth experience, but also to assist them with their post-birth recovery. There is so much that Anita shares in terms of how you can work closely with a physio during your pregnancy and afterwards that it's well worth a listen. She's also makes it all sound so straightforward! Some of the things Anita shares include; what your pelvic floor actually is and how to think about it the pelvic floor check you can have BEFORE you're pregnant the physio appointment that is worth having at 37 weeks to check that you're well aligned for birth pelvic floor exercises you can do other than the dreaded kegel ones why it's important to be able to relax your pelvic floor as well as tighten it what you can do to help you go trampolining again what you can do to help make sure you can sneeze or laugh without looking silly why it's not too late to get your pelvic floor "fixed" and what you can do the importance of the mind-body connection when it comes to your alignement We also talked about Pelvic Girdle Distress aka symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) as this was something that I suffered from during my second pregnancy. This is an important episode and I would urge you to listen. Resources Anita has kindly shared some fabulous resources to support you in this area.
