There are some AMAZING classes out there that will give you some of the knowledge you need to prepare for pregnancy, labor & birth. Optimal Maternal Positioning however compliments many of these modalities where much of their focus is often on mental preparation and learning what happens in the birth room. 

Some even help you with a birth plan to set-up for a plan B. 

Optimal Maternal Positioning however takes things to a greater level by giving you the WHY, WHAT AND HOW to enable labor to progress by preparing your body and baby for birth. 

You will learn what you can do when things go right AND most importantly have the confidence to know WHAT to do when things during birth don't go to plan.

Actually that's a perfect time to start. The OMP protocols will help with alignment AND begin to help you prepare throughout pregnancy for labor & birth.

It's NEVER too late to be proactive in having the birth that is empowered through your choice. Within day's you will be working through the video's. 

The OMP protocols are extremely helpful through your labor & birth AND don't forget there is a section in the video course that helps you understand what to do during birth when things are NOT going to plan that can still lead you to your desired birth experience.

Having a baby pass through the pelvis is like putting the key through the keyhole. If the key hole is not aligned, there may be problems of a smooth insertion. The key may get stuck and cause difficulties turning to unlock or even removing the key.

This is where ‘Optimal Maternal Positioning’ (OMP) comes in. Instead of focussing on the position of the key (which Optimal Fetal Positioning focuses on the position of the baby), OMP focuses on creating space within the keyhole (Pelvis).

The analogy of the 'hot-air balloon' originated from Dr Carol Phillips of www.dynamicbodybalancing.com. 

As 'bones float inside soft tissues', learn how pelvic alignment enhances pelvic mobility. In this video, you will understand the importance of the pregnant mother maintaining dynamic equilibrium within her 'hot-air balloon' during pregnancy which enables her to have a more comfortable pregnancy and how during labor and birth, it enables the baby's cardinal movements to facilitate labor progress, resulting in an easier birth. 

We have seen many examples of using different protocols and witnessing babies move into more favourable positions. Although it's something we certainly cannot guarantee, we will say that by working with your body, having the confidence and knowledge in knowing what to do during pregnancy, labor & birth, you give yourself a higher chance of creating your desired outcome.

It is often said in many other programs that your baby needs to be in an "ideal position" which is simply not true. In fact Optimal Maternal positioning focuses on the mother as much as baby, and in utilising Pelvic mobility exercises/protocols she learns how to work with her body to create space within the pelvis to allow her baby to pass through.
