All my life I have trained for everything I do. If I want to learn something, be competent about something or compete as an athlete; I train. I have trained for my different jobs in the past, I have trained for multiple competitive athletic competitions in various sports, I have trained to be a doula, I have trained in having a great marriage, trained in my religious views to name a few. There is always an opportunity in life to train for something. I want to learn the skills to make me more able in my life at whatever I desire to do.
One day it hits me. TRAIN FOR BIRTH!! Why can’t couples train for their birth game day? They can train to endure birth physically. They can train to endure birth mentally. I can train expecting couples for birth!!
Birth is compared to a running a marathon. There is a starting line, lots of energy is used physically/mentally and there is a finish line. I had a friend tell me she has no idea what running a marathon means when compared to birth, because she has never worked out a day in her life. That thought has never crossed my mind that someone may not know what an athletic sport feels like. How exhausting physically and mentally it can be. I have done athlete all my life, running a marathon makes perfect since to me. She got my wheels turning…
I came up with a train for birth program that anyone can do. Whether you have never exercised a day in your life or you are a competitive athlete you can train for birth. It is simple exercises, stretching, relaxing and mental focus one practices preparing for their birth game day. There is a tremendous amount of information about pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum and baby out there. Learn what there is to know so you can make the best educated decisions about your body, your birth and your baby.
My doula clients train for birth. Birth is very physical and very mental. I have come up with a training program my doula clients practice the last month of pregnancy almost daily. The results have been astounding! They are able to endure the phases and stages of labor easier and in a much shorter time period. Most of my doula clients are first time moms having a home or birth center birthing experience. The onset of active labor to crossing their finish line with their baby in their arms have been a few short hours.
