This episode explores the advantages of upright birthing positions, which include working with gravity, widening the pelvis, and better oxygen supply to the baby. Despite these benefits, in U.S., most births still happen in the lying or semi-sitting positions. Carisa further examines studies about the effectiveness of different birthing positions for people without or with epidurals. The conclusion is that there's no one-size-fits-all solution and people should be encouraged to give birth in the position they find most comfortable, though flexible sacrum positions could be more conducive to normal vaginal delivery.]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/6335595/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Society &amp; Culture</category><copyright>Copyright Podcraftr</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/images.spreaker.com/nuvolari-assets/light_blue_square_mic.jpg</url><title>Womb Wisdom Academy</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/womb-wisdom-academy--6335595</link></image><lastBuildDate>Mon, 07 Oct 2024 15:57:26 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>Podcraftr</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Podcraftr</itunes:name><itunes:email>staff@podcraftr.com</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/images.spreaker.com/nuvolari-assets/light_blue_square_mic.jpg"/><itunes:subtitle>In this episode of the Womb Wisdom Academy Podcast, host Carisa delves into the discussion of birthing positions.

She explains that these indications may not occur in a specific order and that expecting mothers may not experience all of them. Possible signs suggestive of an approaching labor include a low backache, menstrual-like cramps, increased bowel movements, and a sudden burst of energy. Preliminary signs indicate early labor and include non-progressing contractions and blood-tinged mucus discharge. Finally, the positive signs are more definitive and include progressing contractions, a gush of amniotic fluid, and cervix dilation. Carisa emphasizes that birth is a natural physiological process and encourages members to reach out to healthcare providers if unsure.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/62257236</guid><pubDate>Sun, 06 Oct 2024 13:18:10 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/62257236/20241006_1_w8bbq8.mp3" length="5227974" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/0e32ea4e-3c82-422d-87c2-59222ad4c0da/0e32ea4e-3c82-422d-87c2-59222ad4c0da.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/0e32ea4e-3c82-422d-87c2-59222ad4c0da/0e32ea4e-3c82-422d-87c2-59222ad4c0da.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/0e32ea4e-3c82-422d-87c2-59222ad4c0da/0e32ea4e-3c82-422d-87c2-59222ad4c0da.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Podcraftr</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In this episode of the Womb Wisdom Academy Podcast, Carisa delves into the various signs of labor, which she categorizes into three types: possible, preliminary and positive signs.
