Dancing For Birth

Dance your way to a happier, healthier pregnancy, a quicker, easier birth and a more content baby! No dance experience necessary. Two left feet? That's ok!

"By encouraging a birthing person to dance, we empower them to actively participate and rejoice in their labor, to embrace labor's unique rhythm and unfolding, to love their pregnant body, and to trust in their baby's and their own inner-knowledge of how to birth. The euphoria they experience will spill over to infuse their parenting, and their life with joy." - Stephanie Larson, Founder of Dancin

This week is Birth Trauma Awareness Week, a time to educate the public about the prevalence of birth trauma and its effects on families.

What is Birth Trauma? Birth trauma occurs when labor, birth or the immediate postpartum period is perceived to be traumatic by the birthing individual.

Trauma can be caused by a number of factors, including circumstances of the birth, action or inaction of the care providers, and whether or not the birthing person felt respected and supported.

Birth trauma can have a profound impact on the mental health of parents, and it can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

If you or someone you know is struggling with birth trauma, there are resources available to help. Please reach out for help if you need it.
Here are some helpful resources: https://pattch.org/birth-trauma-resources/

Do you think your phone has affected your childbearing?

"A new research paper by Middlebury College economist Caitlin Myers found that Apple's 2007 introduction of the iPhone accounted for 33% to 52% of the decline in the fertility rate."

America's birth rate has plunged. Are smartphones to blame? The iPhone was introduced in 2007, the same year the U.S. birth rate started to slide. The issues could be linked, a new analysis finds.
