We doulas talk a lot about holding space for our clients, may it be in labour childbirth or even postpartum. But what does it mean to hold space for someone?

What is pain? Why do we experience pain? And what does it do during childbirth?! When I was pregnant with my daughter I always wondered what contractions felt like. Every time I asked the question I got the typical response "Oh you will know!".... 🌸 Gosh that was helpful of people 😂 and probably the most hated answer I received 👀 🌸 So let me tell you a bit more: Early labour pains can feel like menstrual pains, cramps or even back pains. They usually increase in duration and frequency as labour progresses. 🌸 The difficulty with describing contractions is that every women feels them differently but here is what happens: 🌹The uterus is a muscle which squeezes over many hours and the intensity increases. 🌹During a contraction there are many things that happen at the same time like cervical stretching and pressure on the nerves or distension of the pelvic floor muscles and perineum (of course there is more to it but I try to keep it a little short for you😉). 🌸 Overall contractions help guide your baby out of your body and to give birth, they are very important in the labouring process. 🌸 Knowing what they can do can release tension and fear for your own experience ❤️ 🌸 #labourpains #contractions #labourandbirth #labour #birth #pelvicfloormuscles #birthquakes #birthingwithoutfear #naturalbirthing #birthinggoddess #childbirth #childbirtheducation #educator #birthdoula #labourdoula #yukondoula #whitehorsedoula #yukonmoms #yukonbaby #whitehorse #whitehorseyukon #theyukon #thenorth #pelvicfloor #pelvis #muscle #uterus #uteruslove #knowledgeispower #pregnancy
