Description

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest fears I hear from moms all the time: tearing. But the truth is, tearing is way less dramatic than it seems, and there is so much you can do to lower your risk. I’m walking you through the five things that make the biggest difference - things I wish every mama knew going into labor.

What you'll learn:

• What tearing actually is (and why most women don’t even feel it happen)
• How nutrition plays a huge role in healthy, stretchy tissue
• Why a balanced pelvic floor matters way more than just doing Kegels
• How birth positions can protect your perineum and why lying flat on your back is usually not best
• How to breathe your baby out instead of holding your breath and pushing with all your might
• Why slowing down during crowning gives your body time to stretch and can  decrease tearing
