3: The Bones ✨ AND LABOUR
The Pathway That Moves and OpensYour skeletal structure, especially the pelvis, is not as fixed as it might seem. During pregnancy and labour, hormones like relaxin allow the ligaments around your pelvic bones to soften and become more flexible. This creates subtle but important movements in the joints of the pelvis, helping to widen the space for your baby to pass through. Positions you take during labour—standing, squatting, swaying—can support these natural shifts and make the most of your body’s design.
Breathing again plays a role here. When you exhale deeply, it encourages the body to release downward, supporting the opening of the pelvic space. Tension, on the other hand, can cause the body to tighten upward, working against this natural expansion. By combining movement with intentional breath, you’re not just enduring labour—you’re actively participating in it, allowing your bones to guide the way as much as your muscles do.
