Spinning Babies® highlights your baby’s active role in birth. In this three-hour class you will learn how during labor the baby rotates or “spins” through the three levels of the pelvis. Learn how to balance your body to be more comfortable in pregnancy. And learn techniques to help your pelvis open at each level. Together, you and your birth partner can use these techniques before labor to find comfort and during labor to help “make room for baby!” Spinning Babies reveals how the baby can find optimal positions for labor, and make birth less painful, and even pleasurable!
