How To Have an Easier Birth with Gail Tulley from Spinning Babies! (Part 2)

How To Have an Easier Birth with Gail Tulley from Spinning Babies! (Part 2)

Author: Liesel Teen April 29, 2024 Duration: 50:11

Welcome back to part 2 of my interview with the amazing Gail Tully! This is an episode we have aired before and are publishing again, because it is just that good of an episode. 

In part 2, we are talking about inductions, and how spinning babies can help support you if you're having an induction. We also talk about VBACs, special considerations regarding VBACs and Belly Mapping.

If you haven't heard of belly mapping before, it is a concept created by Spinning Babies to figure out where your baby is positioned in your pelvis. Super interesting!

If you haven't listened to last week's episode, you might want to hold off on this one and listen to last week's episode first, as that is the first part of this interview. Otherwise, jump right in and enjoy Part 2 of 'How to have an easier birth'
