In this episode of the birthwell podcast, hosts Laura and Nadia discuss the importance of understanding the pelvis during labor. They acknowledge a tragic loss in their community, emphasizing the inherent risks associated with pregnancy and childbirth. The conversation transitions into a detailed exploration of the stages of labor, likening labor to a marathon and discussing the significance of the pelvic inlet, mid pelvis, and pelvic outlet. They provide practical techniques and positions to facilitate labor, highlighting the importance of preparation and community support.

Note: Laura said pushing happens in the pelvic inlet, it occurs in the pelvic outlet (last stage) of the pelvis!
