How To Have an Easier Birth with Gail Tulley from Spinning Babies! (Part 1)

Author: Liesel Teen April 22, 2024 Duration: 1:05:47

This week, I've got a special treat for you guys! We are traveling back in time and re-airing the most popular episode in the history of this podcast. 

I'm so excited to put this out again for you guys because I'm talking to Gail Tulley (full bio below) and she is such a wealth of knowledge! She is the founder of Spinning Babies, which talks about the physiology of your baby in the womb and the importance of creating as much space in the pelvis as possible. 

In this episode, we talked about ample fetal positioning and why it's so important to consider which way the baby is facing and how flexed the head is. Gail makes all this really, really easy to understand.

We also talked about exercises and movements, posterior babies, what to do when your baby is breech and so much more!

Enjoy part one of this super informative episode on how to have an easier birth.
