Baby goes Inlet, Baby can’t get Stuck in Mid-Pelvis.

Baby gets in the inlet… and doesn’t get stuck in the mid-pelvis! 😅

The mid-pelvis + pelvic floor are often the most restricted areas of the pelvis. A lot of pregnant folks hang out in external rotation—where the inlet (top of the pelvis) is wide open (hello, waddling 🦆). But staying there too much can lead to tension + gripping in the glutes, pelvic floor, and posterior chain ⛓️🔥.

During pregnancy, it’s essential to keep the pelvis balanced and mobile in all directions—so baby has the space to do their job in birth!

As baby begins to engage into the pelvic inlet, they’ll need to tuck their chin (flexion) and rotate into the mid-pelvis. That requires a pelvic floor + posterior pelvis that’s supple, balanced, and ready to support this action!

✨One simple way to prep your mid-pelvis? Try Hip Shifts!

This gentle movement creates asymmetrical opening in the mid-pelvis + helps you connect to your pelvic floor.

🌀 Lean over a counter or sturdy surface.

🌀 Breathe + gently bend one knee while straightening the other.

🌀 Send the straight leg’s hip back to feel a stretch + opening.

A little movement can make a big difference!
