Gabrielle Brennan | 4 Contractions of Labor


Show Notes:

In today’s podcast Lynn talks with Gabrielle Brennan, a midwife and body worker, about the 4 types of contractions she has found that prepare baby and mom for birth.

The 4 different contractions include:

  • Feeling Contractions
  • Positional Contractions
  • Rotational Contractions
  • Dilation Contractions

Knowing the different types of contractions and what they indicate in relation to the birth process can be very helpful to a laboring mother. For example, a mother knowing that her contractions are working to position the baby and allow for the best possible birth can eliminate fear that something is wrong, reduce unnecessary intervention, and encourage baby and body to carry out their own process.

Listen to the full podcast to learn more about the 4 types of contractions and what you can do with this information to help your pregnant clients.
