Hands-On Comfort: The Double Hip Squeeze for Labor Relief

A double hip squeeze is a counter-pressure technique that can help relieve discomfort in the lower back and pelvis during labor. If you are one of my clients you know that I will jump to action on your hips when active labor really starts to present itself. When partners want to be hands on this is a great comfort measure for them to learn and use during labor! Practice before and really communicate what feels best so when the time comes you can get to squeezing! This dad in particular was really hands-on and a pro! I loved capturing this moment of them working together to welcome their sweet baby girl into the world!
