6 Healthy Birth Practices

About the episode:

Doula Rachael shares the framework that can help guide you along your unique path to giving birth. The Lamaze 6 Healthy Birth Practices are foundational, practical, and effective in helping to ensure you have the best chance at having a safer, healthier, and more satisfying childbirth.  

Use these birth practices to help increase your knowledge and confidence and to have conversations with your care provider about how they support these healthy birth practices.  

You can also use these practices to begin filling your tool bag with resources, tips, and information to help you navigate the unpredictable events that can often lead to additional and oftentimes unnecessary or unwanted consequences later in labor or birth. 

In this episode, Rachael shares the Lamaze 6 Healthy Birth Practices:

  1. Let labor begin on its own

  2. Continuous Support

  3. Move around, change positions during labor

  4. Avoid unnecessary interventions

  5. Avoid pushing on your back

  6. Keep mom and baby together

If you can root in these guiding principles, you will be able to achieve the safe, healthy, and empowering birth experience you deserve!
