Birth Movement: Using the Rebozo, Selendang, or Sling in the Hospital Setting

We are doulas. If you watch the end of the video, there are credits with our credentials and a link to our websites. We do this with the knowledge and support of the hospital staff, which includes midwives, nurses, and OBs. We have both been trained to do this. Sifting or jiggling is meant to help with malposition, not cause it. It is very gentle. This technique was originally used by traditional Mexican midwives, so I cannot take credit for using ingenuity or inventing it.

This is so very dangerous! God forbid you slip and fall, or that you put the baby into the wrong position. If that was too vigorous why are you doing it? Finally, you don't specify who can use this, a midwife and/or doula. It's great to be ingenuitive and come up with new ways to comfort a mother, but you are crossing a very fine line and what you are teaching you don't even qualify who it's for, and God forbid you fall on a mother. Ibu Robin is a midwife, are you?

Great video thanks! How long should you do this in labour - on and off during contractions for hours, or just until mum feels the baby has turned?
