Welcome
Sometimes things get tricky
This point you can attack with your finger nail – and MAY help.
1 – First step
With all matters body related – do think nutrients and flows.
INGREDIENTS (to run the body) More on the importance of nutrients is fond here (CLICK)
Always check mum’s hydration (should be at least sipping water- and with some salt/minerals in ideally) topical magnesium on her body all through this – as it will assist the distress/cramping, and make all body functions easier) plus nutrients – if her body does not want she will reject but often more ingredients – in this time is what makes such a difference .
FLOWS/CIRCULATION
Baby positioning – what you want – not (as often is – OP – occiput to mum’s spine.
Bub ideally is coming out with face to her spine.
Sunny side up will slow a labour, make it far longer – meaning she is having to wait till baby’s head is totally molded (they are designed to) to fit through as you need 2 cm more then you have if baby is presenting with occiput to mum’s spine – baby needs ideally to be for most women- lying on her left side – facing the right – kicks felt there.
To move baby
Sacral moxa fan whilst she is leaning over or at least use Rebozo – sifting gently. .
This has before moved a frank breech in labour to head down and easily birthed – 45 minutes to flip whilst in hospital with a trusted midwife).
2 – Second step
Options – things are torrid . . .
That DU YIN Point bottom right of the chart above – may be easiest- esp if she is vomiting, (maybe is moving very fast – we still need her calm) not coping with pain. – ASK – why is there pain? Need to undo that – something is stuck . . .
We HAVE to sort out baby positioning and also open the baby gate/ pelvis.
Calming her is first step – and the magnesium, water, touch is the first step – also bring her back. Into her body.
The point Sp 3 on side of foot is needed now.
Run your finger down from the side of the foot towards the toes.
You will get stopped by the bone.
It is where a bunion may appear.
You will fall into a small depression
(Most acupuncture points are in holes . .)
This is not likely to be sore. It brings people back when they are ‘losing it’ – as in about to faint/ fade out. Rub it /press hard.
Should get her back. Now there is work to do.
She CAN do this – but she needs to focus, – on opening . .
Hence all the charts and the pre birth work in the What Dads Can Do (CLICK) suite.
Stress – undo . . see the Stuck Liver Qi Release (SLQR) and all that is on the chart – calm mum down.
In the midst of labour – maybe only the SLQR is possible – but save this for after – the charts are part of the Easy Pregnancy Resources package here (CLICK)
After birth – highly important . . .
And helps anyone. .
You could stop and try it on yourself – right now . .
3 – Third step
Ideally you have pricklies (acup needles) with you. It would then be Liv 3 deep insertion to almost Ki 1 – do not go through the skin on sole though) And Ht 7 – that is magic. .and she must be sitting forwards – the loo seat facing the cistern is perfect – also helps opening the birthing area. In between contractions, get her off – by standing on one leg and swinging the other behind her – that will allow pelvic opening and is easier than walking up and down stairs side on – thigh you could instead), – but not with needles in).
If you wish to know more – I have different levels of classes being made up to assist in teach anyone – any level.This is HOME HELP. we now need to be come a lot more self responsible and not beholden to others holding the keys to our easy living.
