Pelvic Dynamics for Effective Labor Positioning

In this one-hour, interactive webinar, Brittany Sharpe McCollum will guide participants in exploring how laboring people can facilitate progress in labor by creating space within the three planes of the pelvis. Participants will visualize simple ways of connecting pelvic movement to the station of the baby. Emphasis will be placed on better understanding the relationship between labor positions and movements to encourage the baby's descent and rotation. Movement will be explored in both big and small ways, with a focus on supporting both medicated and unmedicated births in reducing unnecessary intervention through a biomechanical approach. Although the approach is completely non-clinical, this evidence-based content can easily be incorporated into the practices of both clinical and non-clinical labor support with the intention of restoring autonomy to the laboring person and supporting the physiological process. 

Participants may earn 1.0 Lamaze contact hour and 1.0 hour of CNE through CBRN; approved provider #15932.
