This is one of my favorite labor techniques and I used it in 2 of my births (Vivien came too quickly!)
This may help increase oxytocin which can help bring on contractions (speeding up labor). Also the upright position is letting gravity help and the movement is helping baby into the pelvis. Great to get things moving if labor is slowing down. Tips to make this work the best: Keep your feet wide and turned out (to open pelvis). Feel free to HANG off your partner. Let them take your weight as you breathe through your contractions. Sway & rock through your contractions (if it feels good). Relax your pelvic floor and VISUALIZE baby moving down and your cervix opening! You are safe and your baby is safe. Your uterus is simply contracting (and it may feel tired like holding something heavy too long) Your cervix is opening. You get to meet your baby soon!
