Relax in birth, you're kidding me.

Everyone knows the word 'relax' or 'relaxation' but we don't really know what it means or often how to do it. Giving birth in all forms requires you to know how to relax in a very specific place in your body, the inside of your pelvis. This lesson gives you both a PDF and an Mp4 video that focuses entirely on how to 'relax' inside your pelvis.

Birthing Better families use the word 'soften' instead of 'relax' because of the soft tissue that makes up most of our body responds to that word very easily.

Try this now:

• Soften inside your left hip, pause.
• Soften inside your sacrum ... the bone at the end of your spine then pause
• Soften inside your right hip, pause
• Soften inside your lower belly

During labor and delivery, your baby needs your body to be soft inside in order to create space and mobility inside so he/she can move down, through, and out.
