Shownotes

In this episode I interview Adelaide Meadow to discuss how the biomechanics of our body can inform our labor experience, birth outcome, and overall experience in our female body.

This interview is a perfect segue following the sharing of my birth story in the last episode, as if offer insight and potential 'answers' as to why my (and many others) birth experience unfolded in the way that it did.

In this conversation we explore:

-What is biomechanics?

-How does biomechanics inform the birth process?

-Fetal positioning vs fetal movement, and why fetal positioning is not a pathology

-Body structure and how some women are physically more able to give birth

-What Adelaide says to women who 'did all the right things' but their birth didn't unfold and end in the way that they wanted.

Bio: Adelaide is a female physiology academic, movement teacher, bodyworker, and home birth attendant. She has been studying birth and female biomechanics for over ten years. She approaches women’s health, birth, movement, and women's culture from a physiological perspective, and believes in the genius of the body and the brilliance of women. Her professional contributions are at the intersection of birth, movement, and biomechanics, and how physiological birth requires physiological womanhood.
