Pushing and The Pelvic Floor: Birth Prep

Things They Don't Tell Her

In this episode of "Pushing and the Pelvic Floor: Birth Prep," Caitlin Pender discusses the connection between vocalisation during labour and the pelvic floor.

Caitlin shares how using deep, guttural, low tones during the pushing phase creates a subtle back pressure at the glottis, pushing down the diaphragm and softening and relaxing the pelvic floor, ultimately aiding in the birthing process. She also shares her experiences feeling the subtle changes in tone in a client's pelvic floor during an assessment, emphasising the importance of vocalisation during labour.
