troubleshooting labor & birth

When you are driving and you hit a roadblock, what do you do? Most of us would stop, reverse and find another route. When a baby hits a roadblock during labor and birth, the baby only has 2 routes - a vaginal birth or a cesarean. So when a baby hits a roadblock during labor and birth, we should take the following approach to support the birthing mother:

  1. Reverse | OMP Reversing Protocols: We reverse to take the pressure of the road block;

  2. Align | OMP Pelvic Alignment Protocols: We use OMP Pelvic Alignment Protocols to clear the roadblock by bringing the hot air balloon back into dynamic equilibrium;

  3. Mobilize | OMP Pelvic Mobility Protocols: Now that the roadblock has been cleared, we can move forward with OMP Active Birth Positions (maternal positioning), OMP Pelvic Mobility Protocols (maternal movements) and OMP Comfort Measures to optimise the pelvis to open and create space for baby to pass through.
