More on Mirror Neurons...

Using these same techniques I’ve now added having mothers and fathers visualize the baby outside of mom’s body once the baby has moved into transition and we are doing the birth breathing.

What happens in the moms often feel the change and panic. AGGGGH Something is happening! Well, yes, baby is moving down, time to birth your baby, and unfortunately that panic attack can delay the birth for about an hour longer or even more, as it shoots catecholamine through the mothers body and stops the production of oxytocin.

This gets everyone in the medical model all excited and worried and stresses baby too, it makes for a messy and stressed birth! Which we don’t need. You name it forceps, suction, drugs...they will bring it all on if mom is stressing here!

So as soon as mom has that inner feeling baby is in the birth path, I have BOTH parents (baby is 50/50 here part of mom and part of dad so he has to participate to) visualize the baby emerging out of mom.

So mostly what we’re doing during the last 40-50 minutes of the birth is slowing mom down so she births her child and has an intact perineum as well!

And it’s working great! Who knew!

Quiet during the last stages, just let this happen and it will every time, every time, every time!
