Birth Professionals fail to physiologically understand what contributes to or hinders fetal cardinal navigation coupled with a lack of patience + fear. Many Medical Professionals may lack the in-depth functional physiological knowledge necessary to effectively support birthing individuals, which can negatively impact the overall birth experience. Labor and Birth are complex processes governed by intricate physiological mechanisms, laid out in a blueprint by our creator. A comprehensive understanding of these mechanisms helps birth providers better support birthing individuals and prevent hindrance or address challenges if they arise. Crucial Elements of this Functional Physiological Birth System: Fetal Cardinal Movements: These are the specific movements a baby makes as it navigates through the birth canal. Understanding these movements is crucial for anticipating and managing labor progress. Pelvic Anatomy and Biomechanics: Knowing how the maternal position of the pelvis accommodates the descending baby can help birth providers offer appropriate support and interventions. Hormonal Influences: The roles of oxytocin, adrenaline, and endorphins in labor can significantly affect both the birthing person and the baby. Awareness of these hormonal changes is essential for creating a supportive birth environment. Emotional and Psychological Factors: Fear and anxiety can impact labor progression and fetal navigation. A deep understanding of the interplay between physiological and emotional factors can lead to better support strategies. The Consequences of Inadequate Understanding When birth providers lack a thorough understanding of the physiological aspects of birth, several issues can arise: Mismanagement of Labor: Inappropriate or premature interventions can disrupt the natural labor process, potentially leading to complications or cesarean. This includes mislabeling situations where the baby struggles to descend or where labor progress slows. Shoulder Dystocia: A lack of understanding in the 5 Variations of Shoulder Dystocia, the biomechanics of the pelvis and fetal cardinal movements can contribute to shoulder dystocia—a complication where the baby's shoulder(s) becomes stuck. Failure to Progress and Failure to Descend: When birth providers do not fully grasp the physiological dynamics at play, they may prematurely label a woman as having "failure to progress" or a baby as having "failure to descend." These labels can result from a lack of understanding of normal variations in labor progression and the natural variations of fetal movements. Increased Stress and Anxiety: Both the birthing individual and the baby can be affected by a lack of informed support, leading to heightened stress and anxiety. This, in turn, can impede labor progress and exacerbate complications. Enhancing Physiological Knowledge To address these gaps, it is crucial for birth providers to engage in ongoing education and training. Programs like the free "How to Give Birth" class offered through Faith Driven Birth can be highly beneficial. This class covers essential aspects of perinatal neurophysiology, equipping parents & providers with the knowledge needed to support births with confidence and avoid misinterpretations.
