"God bless you Ginny for this excellent program!
I had a Merry, Blessed and "easy" labor and I owe you a lot. I knew other programs but this very one made the difference for its clearness and precision. I also recommended it to my (excellent) midwifes.
It was my forth labor. I am from Italy, where homebirth is rather uncommon. I had a wonderful support by two expert midwifes, but I could manage practically everything by myself thanks to the advice and techniques described in Optimal Maternal Positioning.
At 40+5w, after a couple of weeks of Braxton Hicks, labor started but my baby was Right Occipital Transverse, chin hyperextended and still not engaged. I was able to recognise the baby's position and do the right movement or maternal positioning during contractions. At the beginning I used Abdominal Lift&Tuck standing against the wall o sitting on a birthing ball; but Forward Leaning Inversion was the position that really made the difference and caused an irregular, star&stop eary labor to turn into a regular pattern one.
I also applied other easy techniques to the next stages of the labor. I could cope the pain and I had the surprising and wonderful feeling that I really could recognise where my baby was. Almost every contraction was useful and the whole labour was not to fast and pretty tollerable. A few contractions before our baby was born, I told my husband: "I am HAPPY because she will be born soon".
After the birth I had a very quick recover.
I really thank all the staff of Optimal Maternal Positioning and recommend it to all first time or seasoned mothers."
