Pregnancy often brings about challenges such as lower back pain, girdle pain, a less mobile pelvis, or other discomforts in the pelvic area. Frequently, these issues are linked to tension in ligaments, muscles, or bones. Surprisingly, even having a breech baby can be associated with this tension.
But here's the good news: the likelihood of experiencing these discomforts or the malpositioning of the baby can be reduced by balancing your body. Through targeted exercises, specific positions, and maintaining a healthy daily posture, the alignment of your body can be restored. This, in turn, creates additional space, facilitating your baby's optimal positioning, typically head down.

As a woman trying to conceive you often hear about the importance of strengthening your pelvic floor, and using Kegels to help do that. However, you’re never really taught what these things mean or how to achieve them. I was excited at the opportunity to truly learn what this meant and signed up for Mary’s Body Preparation for a Gentle Birth class. Mary took the time to not only show me the exercises, but explain the importance and reason behind each movement. Mary is passionate about what she does, and her kind nature immediately made me feel at ease. I have been scared about the birthing process, and after Mary’s class I finally felt optimistic and that I can do something to help make the experience for me and my baby an easier one. I would highly recommend this class to any women who want to learn more about their pelvic floor, breathing and preparing for labor.
