Techniques for Pelvic Pain

Fetal Malpositions often begin with an imbalance in the mother's pelvis. While this is not always true, it is often true.  I now believe that the imbalance causes the pain and the malposition. It's not the malposition that begins the pain! Treating the cause of the pain often solves the fetal malposition as well, since then baby can often slip into an improved, or even optimal, fetal position. Try these activities to help turn a posterior baby.

 

Babies get into the best position they can with the space they have. An imbalance reduces the amount of space available to the baby. 

Over the years, women have contacted me about both malpositions and pain reported they also have pain or significant discomfort somewhere in the pelvis and/or lower back. Learning from others and seeing the results.

Some answers to pelvic pain can be addressed by a variety of modalities and exercises.

The Forward-leaning inversion, standing sacral release and Pelvic Floor (sidelying) release suggested on this website were all learned from Carol Phillips, DC. I've seen amazing results and relief from pain, even resolution from pain. 
These are good to combine with Chiropractic if desired or if one or the other modality isn't "holding."

You may be right to seek professional help with your pelvic imbalance.
 
 
Pelvic pain may be a sign of a twist in your SI joints, tension in your psoas or periformis muscles, or other origins of imbalance. This may or may not be a big deal in labor. Spinning Babies is not meant to be a vital resource on Pelvic pain, but rather recognizes that fetal malposition can be caused by pelvic imbalance, which also causes pelvic pain. So if a woman has pelvic pain she may, just may, have challenges with fetal positioning in pregnancy or in labor.

Spinning Babies is facing an immediate "migration," new software installation for the behind the scenes portion of the website at cost of $680. This massive update is crucial for security and functionality. Alternatively, I could take the 100+ pages down and restart the site with new software at a lower cost, but much less content. Would you be ok with a 10 page site carrying only an outline of information? That's about how many other websites treat their content.

 Are you a woman or a loved one of a woman helped to avoid a cesarean by Spinning Babies Website? Has Spinning Babies helped you serve birthing families with techniques for labor progress? Do you have a little time to help Spinning Babies in return? If the migration costs $680 and 100 of my loyal users gave $68 dollars each, we'd get it covered. 

Did you know that Spinning Babies was hacked a few summers ago and had to go off line while I found hosting with security? Security is a real issue on the internet. 

Several years ago a grandmother donated $150 after a visit to Spinning Babies Website helped her daughter avoid a cesarean. Once a woman sent $50 because exercises on Spinning Babies stopped her hip pain and she was able to sleep well for the first time during the end of her pregnancy. Today, just a few dollars a year come through donations. Ever since the booklet went on sale donations dropped off. Could it be that people think sales income is significant to carry the website? I wish it were so, and do hope to boost the store soon.

Right now Spinning Babies is in need and so I'm asking those of you among my 4000 daily visitors to give something back. "Wait, Seriously?" you ask, "4000 people a day and only a few small donations a year!?" Yep, that's true.  If 100 of you, 1/40th of one day's visitors, gave $6.80, or about 5 British Pounds (or, 68 people giving 10.00 each) we could get this job done and secure the website. 

ICould it be that Spinning Babies has become such a part of the childbirth education scene that its taken for granted? Spinning Babies doesn't get grants. Spinning Babies isn't a nonprofit (But my husband will be surprised to hear that.)  I love giving this information as a gift to the birthing world, I'm rather delighted to help a woman understand she doesn't have to accept a cesarean before labor just because her baby is posterior! Or, help a woman flip her breechling head down. But with the cost of web maintainance increasing, I have to rethink how I might support my work.  

If you aren't able to give such a chunk of change, can you send your sympathy for $5? Or, are you a loyal Spinning Babies user who gives their undying support for $100? 

What ever you can send now will be seen as a huge message of support to keep Spinning Babies safe and online. Protecting one woman's birth just takes 4 minutes.

How are we doing? First day, 6 donations: $80 was given, Second day,  2 donations: $20.   Third day 3 donations: $70.  We can do it! Can we do it in a week??
