My Story~ Becca~ mom of 2.
I took the Tummy Team's "Perfect Pushing" class in 2010 when I was
pregnant with my second child. I had previously had a cesarean delivery
in 2008 after five long hours of pushing that didn't move my large (and
unfavorably positioned) son. Along with regular chiropractic care to
help promote ideal positioning, I wanted to prepare myself with
exercises that would really help me focus my efforts and push
effectively. I enjoyed how thorough the class was, and did the
exercises faithfully throughout my second and third trimesters. When my
daughter was born in 2011, I had a much faster labor and pushed on my
own (without being coached). My memory of that part was a little foggy
(it was a short and intense labor!) but I only pushed for about 20
minutes when she came flying out like superman, with a nuchal hand and a
14.75" head. I am so thankful for the information and exercises I
learned from the Tummy Team, and the role they played in helping me
achieve a successful and healthy vbac.
