This consultation is for you if you want to help your baby settle into the most favorable position before birth. We recommend it from around week 32 of pregnancy – both preventively and when questions arise about the baby’s position or your body’s balance.
The consultation is helpful if a previous baby “didn’t want to turn,” had difficulty settling into the pelvis, or if the birth was very long or complicated. It’s also useful if you feel you have an imbalance or asymmetry in your body, or experience pain or tension.
For a smooth birth, it is very important that your body has as much balance and relaxation as possible. This creates the most favorable conditions for your baby to prepare for birth, choose the best “starting” position, and helps them make their way through the birth canal and your pelvis.
During the consultation we assess your history, the baby’s position, and your body’s balance. Various methods and exercises are used to help relax the body and create more space and freedom. These tools are useful not only during pregnancy but can also be applied during birth.
During the consultation we draw on traditional midwifery techniques, the Spinning Babies® method, and osteopathic principles.
Depending on the situation, one consultation is sometimes enough, while other times several sessions are needed, adjusting the plan to your and your baby’s needs, gently “persuading” the little one to turn or descend.
We often give homework and encourage you to continue the exercises independently at home – this reinforces the effect, and the body learns to maintain balance and relaxation.
During this consultation you will be seen by Gintarė.
